I've searched and read various threads, here and elsewhere, and I still have a question or two.
My Ranger's windshield leaks at the top edge close to center. I'm getting a small amount of water trickling down the inside of the windshield when it rains.
How is the black rubber molding around the windshield attached? Is it a flat strip that is/was glued in place where glass meets body, or does it slip in like a vehicle door molding? Is it intregral to the seal, or just cosmetic?
I plan to do a quick fix with some black silicone or similar. I'm not going to remove the windshield, or have it replaced. But it rains here a lot, and I don't want to go pulling off the molding without some knowledge, and end up with a bigger leak and no way to fix it!
I could just smear silicone over the top edge, but I would prefer it not look too ghetto.
Advice?
