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

I just had mine done.

Anderson glass (don't know if they're nationwide or not) came to my house and did the install for $240, including the WS! That's a good price, gents.

The guys told me that butyl tape is no longer legal for professional installations. They used the current urethane which is used on most modern windshields. It took 4 hours to dry, but I wasn't in a hurry and it has the added advantage of being able to move the WS slightly after you set it. With butyl, it's a one-touch deal and if it's slightly off, you have to start all over. Ask me how I know (1987).

The trim clips are not held in by the windshield, they pin themselves as previously stated. It's a very good idea to replace them all while the WS is out.
