VEE windows in a soft top windshield frame

[04mustang]

I think this a fairly new thought. I've seen people asking about this for various builds but not for a soft top.

I know that these normally on up-armored trucks with like 4 pieces of armor behind the lip of the windshield frame. But in my simple mind it looks like it could be made to work with a normal soft top windshield frame but that the handle strikers would just need to be shimmed more since you don't have armor on the outside.

Is this flawed logic?

Thanks,

Probably work, but why ?
Them things are a two man lift.
One is probably 10+ times heavier than suppl 5/8th glass.

Are you talking about the removable glass? What would you do for defrost? They are electric.

Defrost isn't usually an issue where I live in NC. But yes that is the kind I'm referring to.
I may be able to get a pair of them and just was curious if they would work for me in my truck.
I originally wanted to go the route of 5/8" thick supplemental glass and all related retainers, but the parts prices would add up very quickly.

It would be even more expensive for the 3" glass.

Unless its new...there probably already de-laminating.
