Trying to replace the windshield in my 88 Cabriolet. It was a press in. Got a windshield from a donor Cabby that is/was glue in. Will this fit as a press in? Tried searching and I guess I just dont get it. Setting the glass in place with no seal, it seems to be a good fit. Help please

The glued in windshields were installed because of the airbag system. I do not recall there were any differences in the metal frame.

The frames are the same but the windshield is slightly larger on the glue in style.

Different windshield, just glue it in properly and it will be fine or get the right one for the rubber style installation.
