Rusty windshield frame?
Im in the process of replacing the windshield in my car and once everything was removed I found some rust in the windshield frame,in some spots I thought I was going to find some pin holes but got lucky.So if you need a windshield replacement in the future make sure you get a chance to take a look at the frame once everything is removed.I live in Ca and ive owned this car since 1987 and im pretty sure the windshield has never been out of the car until now so in areas where rust is a problem this is something to think about.Once all the rust was removed I shot a few heavy coats of some Dupont primer and then a few coats of some trim black and I was ready for the glass.one major benifit of doing this job was a chance to remove the rust from the VIN tag.This looks pretty ratty once it starts to rust.This job isnt for the faint of heart,to date this is one of the bigger jobs ive tackled with my car but I wouldnt have it any other way.

wow. what a project!!!
I would want to do that either in CA, or, in a garage - where rain wouldn't put the fear of God into me!!!
Great catch!!!
I might have to do my own windscreen when the time comes.
