I know the last turkey who installed my windshield did a bad job. Now that I am actually using the car regularly, I need to get this sealed up. After a car wash, water literally pours onto my feet when I accelerate... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

I know I'll need to pull the windshield (I am buying a new one), but any suggestions on things (seals, etc) to look out for when we're in there a very good installer (by word of mouth) might NOT know about the 914 application?

IS there even a seal once you get past the alum. trim and clips? Or does the glass itself just glue in? What about the rubber I can see at the absolute front of the dash?

Many thanks,

pete
