An Austin 7 high and dry?

In the 1960s car windscreens weren't glued in place like they are today, and would easily push out of the rubber. Not much chance of that with a modern. The glued in windscreen gives a considerable degree of stiffness and strength to the structure.

I think modern screens are quite thin and easily smashed. When he comes to fit me a new one in the modern on Tuesday I wonder if he'll let me kick the old one out. I can ask.
