When cutting laminate windshields, you should first cut

• A. down each side.
• B. a starter hole in the bottom right corner.
• C. across the bottom of the windshield.
• D. across the top of the windshield.

Answer: (A)

When working with laminate windshields, the first move is to establish vertical cuts along the sides. Cutting down each side creates clean, accessible kerfs at the edges, giving you precise control over the panel as you work. This side-cut strategy helps keep the blade aligned with the edge, reduces the chance of pushing or binding the interlayer, and minimizes edge chipping or glass shattering as you begin freeing the pane from the frame. Once the side kerfs are in place, you can proceed with the remaining cuts to detach the windshield safely and efficiently.
