Those windscreens are made in "china" and are not a good fit
If you have a rusty windscreen frame it is recommended that you remove the upper guards from the windscreen frame as it is usually delaminated and rusty.

When you say not a good fit, how bad fit are they? Does it effect the chrome lining up or what?
The upper frame is in good shape, I just want to get on top of some rust that is starting to form on the pillars before it becomes an issue

GoldDigger:
I feel your pain. Been there. Do it once, do it right & accept that you have paid the price of buying a 40 year old car. It makes you sick when you have been screwed by another club member though.
:bold Persist & you will feel right at the end.

Chromie asked if I could load up these pics to show you where rust can occur and that it maybe worth you checking it out.
"Here is a picture of what one can expect under the front guard to windscreen frame for rust and bonding failure.
The pictures are off a 1970 roadster right side which was showing no signs of rust, this was a precaution repair before we respray the vehicle "ALL C3 CORVETTE WINDSCREEN FRAMES RUST DUE TO DELAMINATION OF THE BONDING MATERIAL BETWEEN THE FIBREGLASS AND METAL FRAME, THEY ALSO RUST DUE TO POOR PAINT PROTECTION BY THE FACTORY AND DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE"

Thanks - I'll check it out on the weekend when I'm working at the shed.

What you will find when you open up that plenum panel is more rust underneath, in the corners of where the screen meets the planem is a tripple panel which conects to the pillar, to do it propely you need to open the plenum up either from the top or bottom and repair it and seam seal all joints and fish oil the hell out of it. I did a rust repair on a 71 and had the dash compleetly out and actually did it from the underside of the dash and did not have to remove the front guards.
Here are some pics:
