    Leaking Windshield Gasket

    I leak tested the windshield today. Had two leaks - one on passenger side, one small on drivers side. I added some sealant, and will check it again tomorrow. I also pulled out the carpet so that I can dry out the carpet and padding, and check the floor pans. Floor pans look good, so I'll...

    Leaking Windshield Gasket

    Have a safe trip, and we'll expect to see pics when you get back. The butyl sealant that I used said that you can leak test immediately, so I hope that I'm OK. I guess I'll find out when I get home from work today. As for glass work, I'll defer to you as the expert.:-D

    Leaking Windshield Gasket

    Sorry to hear about your leak. I hope you can fix it with some sealant. I'll check the car tomorrow to see if I have a lake inside or not.

    Leaking Windshield Gasket

    After I got all the trim off, I checked out the gasket, and it appears that no sealant was used. The gasket moved pretty freely on the car body, and you could easily separate the gasket from the glass. You could also see the little openings in the body caused by the "tabs" that seat the...

    Leaking Windshield Gasket

    64dart170, Thanks again for all the help. You are correct - glass is not broken, just leaking. Since I would have to pull out the glass to install the clips, I'm going to hold off on that, as you suggested. I'll try sealing the gasket to the glass, and see how that works, then go from...

    Leaking Windshield Gasket

    As you can see, there don't appear to be any trim clips (or any sealant for that matter) at the windshield - see attached. I have also included a cut away of my understanding of how the trim clips work, since I haven't seen the clips with my own eyes. Please tell me if my understanding is...

    Leaking Windshield Gasket

    The car is a '67, but the trim is '68. I'm assuming that the previous owner could not find a gasket for a '67, so he switched to a '68 gasket and trim but took a short-cut and glued the trim on, rather than installing the clips. It's dark here now, so I'll take some pics tomorrow afternoon and...

    Leaking Windshield Gasket

    Thanks, again to all who are helping. I pulled of some of my windshield trim, and there are no clips in place. Trim was just glued on with sealant. It does not look like any sealant was applied to the gasket when it was installed. Do you think that holes could be drilled and trim clips...

    Leaking Windshield Gasket

    I had originally suspected the wiper pivot seals, but before I could replace them I had the problem again. There is water puddling on the inside of the windshield gasket, and the only way I can figure that it got there is from the windshield.

    Leaking Windshield Gasket

    Thank you to all who have helped. At least now I know that the car has a 68/69 windshield gasket and trim. 64dart170 - your thread on windshield replacement was very well done, and very helpful. I guess that I will try sealing the windshield with some butyl sealer first. If that fails, I'll...

    Leaking Windshield Gasket

    Hello, Guys and Gals, I seem to have a leaking windshield gasket. I'm getting a large puddle on the passenger side floorboard, and the windshield gasket is wet on the inside. I have a 67 Barracuda, and have enclosed photos of the windshield. Is this a 67 gasket/trim, or some other year? Do...

    Deck lid rattles bigtime

    I don't know about moisture problems, but that foam expands like crazy. I was helping my brother-in-law install new windows and he shot some great stuff into all of the little crevices around the windows. When the foam expanded it warped the window jambs so much that we couldn't open the...

    Weatherstripping help needed

    Hello again, guys and gals, I need some help with weatherstripping. My front windows do not seal agains the roof rail properly, and I want to fix that. The shop manual is not too clear on weatherstripping, but it appears to indicate that a "sealant" goes into the channel and then a...
