i know that feeling of terror when you wake up to find a puddle in the bus!
My 73' has the same problem, and i have been meaning to get around to
ordering a new rubber seal to replace the somewhat rotted out one. The
reason i have been procrastinating is that i am afraid of busting my NOS
windshield in the process of replacing the rubber gasket. ANy thought on
how to do this? I hope that a rubber gasket will solve the problem, and
that rust repair isn't warranted too.
