Any advice for this or this ? Appreciate any information on how I might handle this. The front window glass molding will cover up whatever is done here but I want to ensure that I have adequate support for the glass.

That amount of rot has structural implications and unless you repair it, your windshield is never going to seal.
IMO, that's a certified mess. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 54 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 54 | Yes... knew that fabrication would be required. Let me rephrase my question and be even more specific. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this and what they did to remedy? Also, any specific ideas related to possible fabrication would be much appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | Sometime back (a year or so) here someone was dealing with that.
