Did you check to see if the car is bent? With a lot of torque and a lightweight unit body car, there is a lot of twist when launching or shifting, especially with engine and/or tire modifications. I saw a Chevy II that twisted so hard on launch that they had to strap the doors closed.
For those looking for a windshield, I looked around and an AMC vendor wanted $250 plus $150 shipping. Ray Sands Glass in Rochester, NY provided the glass and installed it for me for $407, and in that price was a new piece of glass, shipping and installation. I provided a new rubber gasket and the polished trim. To avoid the cost of a mobile installation, I trailered my car over to their shop. I drove it in the shop, they did the glass, and the next day I drove it out of their shop. They did not even move the car. It is perfect. They are now my glass shop.

It might be a good idea to check the openings for square.

Take a tape measure and go from one diagonal corner to the other,  they should be the same within 1/4 inch.  Or if you have access to a tram bar,  it's much more accurate for such measurements.
 Also check A-pillar height from side to side.
  If the opening is out of square,  it's easy to get it in square with a Porta-Power.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to jack that front,  or rear window opening around when there's no window in the opening.

Those are all valid points but the windshield that I just removed fit just fine and for all I know was in there for 49 years. The drivers side is 1/8 in more forward than the pass side, it can also explain why the drivers side vertical molying won't go on.I will call Pilkington on Tuesday. I've really had a run of bad luck in my AMC endeavor's lately.
