I enhanced the pics as well to see better details but could not confirm 100% how the windshield is supported at that angle. I see that dark area which looks like reinforcement and also the wipers which appear redesigned to park below the glass. I also see what appears to be rust on the bottom corner on the driver's side. That's what got me thinking parts van.

Practical? For a bug catcher.:-)

There are no sticks keeping it up, as I would expect in a hack job.  Also, in the frontal shot, just a little higher than halfway up the windshield you see what looks like support mounts.  From the side you see a thick frame, much thicker than a seal. You also see a seal at the bottom of the window frame on the vehicle body.
