Default Put a Windshield in a 7 sec Fox Today at Work

I do auto glass for a living and went to this guys house to put a windshield in his 91. He also had a 81 and 90 he needed the glass taken out off. I was in total heaven. They were all full drag cars. The 91 was a real pretty blue with all smoked lights and a 408 with a Vortech. Said it was 1800 horse power. The 90 I got to talk to the owner. I pulled his windshield out so he could weld up his cage. He had the engine out of the car, it was a 354 with a XX trim vortech pushing close to 40 pounds of boost and around 1600 horse. I never seen a s/c that big in my life it was huge. The inlet was 6" and outlet 4". Both cars had a full cage going through the fire wall and strut tower with through the floor frame connectors. I was just amazed by everything. Never seen one up close that was that bad.

I've been mis-informed! I was toldour windshields would break if you tried to remove. Mine is leaking at the top a little. I need to have it reset I guess.

You could have some rust, its best to find someone who can take it out then prep the body and reinstall it. Where do you live

Georgia. I've pulled the moulding around the top. Its leaking right around the center, will drip on your hand on the shifter. I put some sealantaround the area and it appears to be ok. But I think I should have it reset to be right.

my windshield leaks when it rains, it runs through the back of dash and sh*t, it sucks, ends up on my passenger floormat (no its not the heatercore)

do i need to call the people and have them do a new one? or will the just have to pull this one, and re-install/adjust it?
