If so, it's a good idea.   That's one part that really needs rust 
preventative measures.     I've been through a couple of the Clarks 
windshield panels *and* doing a bit of hammer work to "stretch" the 
inside curve to make them actually fit the car... neither of the ones 
I installed were galvanized.


  By the way, next time I do one of these panels I'll cut it in the 
middle instead of trying to stretch the curve.   An hour's worth of 
hammer-dolly work to make it fit right and I never did get it to go 
on quite as well as the original part.    It would save a lot of time 
to cut it, tweak it, and just weld the gap.
