Would it make sense that the windshield frame would sit slightly crooked in the opening? I did not pay attention when I disassembled it. Thanks for expanding the mystery. More to check.

The door cowl gap was pretty good. The misalignment of the hinges is in a left/right dimension, not front/back.
I could see bending or flattening the hinges to help alignment in the front to back dimension.
Thanks

yes on the windshield frame - you should see from the drivers seat position the top is pushed to the left. It might be very subtle that the windshield opening isn't square - measure diagonally and it should come up with the same number corner to corner.
