I have installed my windshield with a new weatherstrip and cannot get it to quit leaking water. I have a 1966 GT coupe. There are no glass people in my area that have worked on cars this old. Does anyone know what I can use to seal the windshield to stop the leaks?

 

I've got the same problem, i was thinking about being the redneck that i am and putting a clear silicon coat of bathtub sealer around it, but someone here probably know what there doing more than me.

 

usmc is right clear silicon will work and besides the window trim will hide it

 

how do you get the window trim on and off with out bending it and going and having to spend an assload of money to have it done by "THE PRO"

 

You need a special window molding removal tool.

ok, well im not good enough with things like that to attempt it so i would pay the pro.

 

Did you run a bead of silicon around the perimiter of the seal, glass meets the seal? After the windshield is in, you can then run a nice bead around the seam where the seal meets the body and it will be covered nicely by the stainless trim.

 

Don't bend (kink) the molding getting it off. For as little as the pieces seam, it's expensive to replace. Specially the back widow trim. Ask me how I know. [:@]

 

lol...how do you know? is it easy to put back on?

 

Get a pro to do it...that way if they tear it up or it still leaks then they will have to fix it. Make sure you get that in writing.
