Here is the last word on stopping a windsheild, or any window leak--if
in fact you feel it's coming from between the rubber and the body----
Make a stop at Ace is the Place, and get yourself a caulking tube of 30,
or 50 year black silicone-----
Now this is going to, be the tricky part, and only because your going to
attempt to do this as the window is in----it will take two guys to do it
right---
One pulls out on the moulding with a cotter pin puller or other hooked
tool, and the other lays a bead of silicone as the puller progresses
down the moulding---
It is much easier to lay a bead inside the groove of the moulding when
the window is out---but this will work fine.
Ok---your done with the bead of silicone inside the lip of the
moulding----
Take a rag saturated with mineral spirits, and with you index finger,
smooth out the bead of silicone to the moulding----don't be too sloopy
here, make it unifom all the way around the body to rubber line----
Your done, and the window rubber will never again leak, and the silicone
will almost be totally invisable----and good for at least 30 year's--
Every Mack truck I paint, I do this to,----I have never had any rust
around the rubber mouldings, or leaks from the windsheild's or rear
window's-----ever.
Later,
