Did you guys notice the factory drain hole in each bottom corner of the opening and hoses? That's a clue that you're gonna get wet. Those holes should be about half inch to handle even light rain showers. I fixed my crank out assy by installing a NOS unit that I got on a horse trade deal. The tough part is the windshield/glass job, it will eat you up and I don't want to do it again. other options are to glue/seal that sucker in place, the cowl vent will still capture a lot of air. Also a buddy of mine tossed the whole mess and V butted some new glass that fills the intire opening, looks pretty good.
