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

As always, many thanks for the input guys... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I am definitely worried about the rust issue, which is why I am fired up to get this done.

Two more questions:
-What does the rubber "seal" do if the tape seals the windshield in...?
-How does one best (i.e. most easily) clean the drains for the fresh air box under the cowl? I am not sure they have EVER been cleaned.

Judging by how the water literally pours in on my feet, only when I accelerate after a car wash, I am wondering if plugged up drains for the airbox are the real cause of my problem. The more I think about it, the less I believe the windshield boss could hold and keep that much water at the ready.

I'd rather fix this and isolate the windshield "leak" before going in there. How nice it would be if I found out I DON'T need a new windshield. That aluminum trim is no fun, the last guy did not get it quite right and I have been wondering if I have excess wind noise around the windshield as a result...

Thanks!
