The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Windshield Trim and Seal

My suggestion is to rework the pinchweld area (where the rubber sealing piece fits over) really well after you remove the windshield. You may have rust there and correcting it now will reduce problems later. JB Weld is a good choice for repair. I've seen some that needed quite a bit of work. Until then I think I'd just get some wide tape (duct tape, etc) and tape over the area to keep it from leaking too badly. You might even tape on some plastic sheeting. You won't be saving that windshield and acetone will clean any tape residue off of the stainless trim. You'll need to cut the windshield rubber to get it out. Way too brittle otherwise. I wouldn't worry about working with a new windshield. Usually you can use the rope method to install those without too much trouble. I wrote some notes on how I do this somewhere, but can't remember how long ago that was. Just be certain to install the new glass with a helper.
