Default Front windshield water

Ok removed the wipers and crude in the shill? The windshield is in tack.
What should i put in or around this area to stop the rain from getting in and what type of paint?

Hi mk,
I'm not sure if you're asking about sealing the wiper well or around the windshield?
Semi-flat black paint would be appropriate in the wiper well.
Regards,
Alan

It seems that the well retains water?

My guess is the crud you removed was factory sealant. The entire wiper trough was sealed on the assembly line. I used 3M automotive undercoating from the rattle can on my '68. The 3M dries to a very dark brown and can be painted semi-flat black.
