Silver Split in the rain...
I like weird pictures, and I was going through some shots from Bloomington Gold. This one stuck out as one you might not see too often...

Well I've gone around the windshield with that wide blue quick-release painter's tape around the windshield to make it home in the rain before - the SWC stayed bone dry inside but the tape looks stupid.

Funny coincidence as I was at what would be the third shop yesterday to try and fix the windshield leaks on my 64. This is a whip! And the rear leaks too from just old age. And Frankie, I was just telling the guy that on our long Route 66 tour planned for next year blue tape is not a good solution.

You can get high pressure tape in about any common color.
EB red tape is very close to rally red.

Just be sure its not your cowl vent cavities that are leaking....a leak there often gets mistaken for a windshield leak !

I've found driving in reverse reduces the windshield leaking - its tough on a split window though

I know because i bought some to get my new Z06 home (100 miles of freeway) without rock chips on the brake duct vents before i can get some clear protectant film installed there.
At least red tape on a red car won't be too obvious.
oh, yeah, McMaster-Carr for the tape, they have both red vinyl and the red painters tape.
