I used some dielectric grease on the front windshield gasket. Fixed it right up. A little goes a long way and will make a mess if you use too much.

Worked like a charm......unfortunately I closed windows, a/c and turned off radio in order to listen for rattles and there weren't any but noticed a squeak coming from the rear suspension. I think I will just turn up the volume on that until the next service.

Thanks again

if you drive a C3 (1982) you don't even notice another rattle.

This recommendation saved me hours and my sanity. Can’t believe how loose my wiper mount was. Thank you!!!
