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 doubt your leak is from the airbox. The only path for water from the fresh air blower into the cabin is through the heater ducting. But those hoses change height, so you'd need a ton of water. Even if the drain was plugged, it would take a LOT of water to fill it up. Much more than occurs during a typical washing.

If the windshied is leaking, you could have a little dribble the collects inside the cabin (behind the dash?) while you're washing and then releases when you accellerate.

Come by the shop some day and I'll help you try and figure it out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I always love a good mystery. Novato is only a short sunny drive. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
