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

The clips that hold the window trim on are held in by the glass. You usually break some when removing the trim (you don't want to bend the trim!!) so it's good to have new ones on hand.



Ummm I just pulled my glass mabey last week and those clips are not held in by the glass! they are hard plastic and have a pin that once depressed fit into a small hole(s) around the frame. They appear to be use once/break to remove fasteners? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)
