Thank you for the explanation. I know understand the black perimeter on our newer cars!

I resealed the top edge of the windshield and checked for leaks; high and dry. I put on the upper and lower reveal moldings and everything fit right after a little trimming on the lower molding... Windshield is done. Most people will never believe what it took to put a 58 Buick wrap around windshield in a 49 Cadillac.
