    NO TIP ON WINDSHEILD BUT NOW MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO CHECK THE COWLS. POUR SOME WATER IN THE FRESH AIR GRILLE IN FRONT OF THE WINDSHEILD, LOOK UNDER THE DASH FOR LEAKS. THAT IS HOW I FOUND MINE.
    I THOUGHT MY WINDSHEILD WAS LEAKING. TURNED OUT TO BE ABOUT A WEEK MORE OF BODY WORK.
    GOOD LUCK ON THE WINDSHEILD REPLACEMENT. A GLASS SHOP IS REPLACING MINE. THEY SAID $40 EACH (FRONT OR BACK).
    GOOD LUCK

    My cowls

    They are fixed, well sort of, I've done osme body work done before, I umm umm put fiberglass over the vents, so thats how I found out how bad my window gasket was, took it out and it nearly crumbled in my hands!!! so I fixed the cowl also, when I took out my a/c box with fiber glass, the "hat" is good, but it was around the out side of the hat was bad. so now alls I needs to do is the window, but thanks, for the advice!!
