Hi,
I have put my SC back on the road after being parked for many years. Just got a new set of BFG V-rated tires for it. Well, my windshield seems to be leaking up by the top corners. I popped the trim off and couldn't see any cracks. But, I squirted some 3M windshield sealant down in there and put the trim back on. Now it leaks worse than ever. So whatever was leaking, I must have loosened it up even worse by pulling the trim off.
Now, Issue 2 is that the trim looks awful. It's the T-shaped metal with the rubber coating on the outside. The rubber has completely deteriorated. I called Ford and they said DISCONTINUED. I've looked all over the web and can't find one of these. I replaced the one on the back glass about ten years ago.
Do you guys know where I could buy a piece of upper windshield moulding? Does anybody make a repro of it? Can I get my OEM one re-rubbered? Please help.
Thanks!
Jim
PS As an aside, I popped the trim off last night to take another look and managed to crack the windshield....so maybe when I get a new windshield put in that will fix the leak....but I'd appreciate any wisdom here as well.
