    Our body man did my glass. Hes done it for years and knows what to use per application. My front and rear glass was installed with the rubber only. Then sealed with a flow-able 3m sealer around the outer edge to the body. Then a non hardening 3m caulk between the glass and rubber outside. Both windows are sealed, no leaks.

    It leaks from the package tray on the right side. I still have a slight leak overhead on the driver side. I honestly didn't look at the pinch weld to se its condition but according to Jim they were ok. I should test the cowel by pouring water in there to see if it leaks. It's frustrating but we all deal with this so I guess I'll see what I'm gonna do. Brian, thaks for the offer. Gonna figure out what to do.

    Any chance on getting the part numbers? :huh:

    I'm about to replace my front and rear gaskets on the Green GT and would like to only do it only once since I don't have much luck with glass. :yup:
