    They make your truck fly...however you need them over your entire windshield in order to be able to fly. Toyota never finished the project so thats why they are only at the top of the windshield. The guy in charge of the project at Toyota was an ex NASA engineer and misteriously disappeared when GM found out Toyota was trying to make a flying truck.

    Should be down about 4-5 inches down on the very edge of the windshield.

    If you want to try to make it into a race thing....but that would dilute the whole argument about racial tensions eh??

    yup the asi line, most tint laws incorporate that line into them somewhere if you were to get a windshield sunstrip.

    It also helps hide the adhesive attachment points all around the outer edge that would otherwise be visible.

    I recall hearing that the urethane windshield adhesive adheres to the frit material better than to smooth glass.
