Resetting Windshield in RX-2

I successfully pulled the windshield on the duece to repair some corrosion issues. Now the dilemma is how to seal the glass when I reinstall it: Do I use the ribbon type of windshield caulk or the urathane in a can?

lol. I missed that part. ok, then dont be cheap and have a professional auto glass shop install it for you. besides, if you have missing clips, they can use the caulking to keep the trims in place.

This reminds me I have to replace my windshield in my rx2 sedan.

Oh Banzai, I sent out my pitman arm to TED at Rare parts and he is in the slow process of rebuilding it. Thanks for the tip off.

I found another problem area:

Pull the wiper access covers; you will see the horizontal surface is covered in a tar sheet. My sheet was cracked and under there was a LOT of corrosion! Now to figure out how to pull the wipers
