So my windshield leaks like a seive..., Suggestions for the fix-it? Options

[horizontally-opposed]

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

Where can one find the little clips that hold the trim on?

i bought mine from HPH ...

dave's right (of course). the glas is held down by the butyl tape which also *is* the seal around the window.
the rubber seal between the dash and the window can't be replaced with the window in the car, you have to do this while the window is out (in fact, the window will sort of sit on top of that seal) ...
the butyl tape comes with 3 rubber spacers you use to position the glass and hold it in place while the butyl dries.
