1965 windshield leaks

[Al Farris]

Hi,
I just had a new windshield and rubber seal installed and it leaks under the dash.
I've run water inside the wiper wells and I get no leaks but when I run the hose on the windshield it leaks pretty good. The glass installer said he installed the
seal I provided and caulked the windshield with sealant like they normally would.
Does anyone know what can be done to correct the problem. Do you think the water may be coming in where the fiberglass pieces meet together in the windshield track. Does anyone know of a corvette restorer or glass shop that specializes in installing corvette windshields that I can take my car to in N.E. Pa. to have this problem corrected. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Al

Sometimes when the moulding is installed the sealer is pushed out and an avenue for the water to travel is created. I think that you should have the lower moulding removed and fill the cavity full. Then install the moulding and cleanup the excess. It should solve the problem.

I have not had personal experience with Glassworks near Pittsburg, but
I have talked to them several times and they seem helpful and competent. I know
that others on the board feel they do excellent restoration work. They do have
a website; the address is available through search engines.
