Well we are finally getting some rain and I noticed my Windshield on the passenger side is leaking around the top. I found the directions on Removal and Replacement of the Windshield in the Service Manual and I was wondering if before I remove the glass and add some sealer, if there might be somethings I need to watch out for and is it best to start at the Top or Bottom when putting the window back in?
Thanks!

windshields are not that hard to do, best with three people. Might think about new rubber from Steele. You must be very careful with inside trim due to headliner and piping. Also how is glass, not that expensive to change as it is flat and any glass shop can cut a new set. To put back in you use a cord in grove, set bottom in from in side and pull rubber over trim with cord from bottom out side to top center.

Thanks Dell, so far it looks like I'm missing a clip at the upper part of the window. If that is it than I'll just find a new clip and leave it as is. But if it still leaks than I'll go from there.
Thanks!
