I hate to poke a sore subject but regular seam sealler hardens over time and it doesn't rain much where you are.
I'll have to look into that though. Wouldn't have thought of it. I know not to use regular silicone because it will cause rust. Most RTV's produce acetic acid (or something similar) as they cure. Its a wonder there wasn't a damn big rust hole there anyway. If you notice there is a big bare metal spot at the bottom right of that window opening that was there when I pulled the window. That window had been messed with before. Probably the ******* that cleaned the goo out the first time wasn't careful with the solvent and it softened up the paint and fell off. I don't really want to use the hard ureathane windshield stuff because if it ever has to come apart that would be challenging.
Anyway, its all cleaned up. I need to weld in a couple tabs to accomodate the OBS window mount screws and I should be about ready to prep and mud this side.
Anybody have any tips for pulling windshield molding? I'm going to practice on the parts truck. The moldings on it are all buggered anyway.
