The pilot can see the engine cowling slightly from above even when his eye level is slightly below that. Simply removing the frame render would be only a partial solution as it wouldn't restore realistic forward visibility (the 'periscope effect'). No offense, just some thoughts.
The bottom of the armoured glass is below the engine cowling so removing the frame and transposing the forward view above the cowling fixes the problem.
