Re: oozing windshield sealant



If the windshield is leaking across the top make sure that the 2 small 
wire clips are still holding the bottom edge of the windscreen in 
place. If the windscreen has slipped over them and is sliding down it 
will open the joint across the top which is bad enough but the glass 
will eventually crack when it hits the plastic grill on the bottom. 
Sealing the top is only a very temporary fix. Before you crack the 
windscreen have it removed and reseated making sure that the 2 lower 
clips are properly supporting the bottom edge so it can not slide. If 
it has slid over the clips look closley across the bottom and you will 
see them under the bottom edge of the glass, they may not be easy to 
find but they are there. The are black formed wire with a hook in them 
to keep the bottom from moving.
