Windshield Gasket/Seal
How is the windshield secured/sealed to the truck?
I'm getting a little leakage when it rains. Windshield is also cracked, so I'm just going to replace it with a JY one for $100.
Thanks

Glued with Polyurethane Adhesive ...
Forget a junkyard one, they are next to impossible to remove without breaking them!
It is possible, it is a lot of work cutting them out with hand tools.
They typically break ... Most glass shops will not even try!
The edges cannot be chipped or they will fog up ...
I would call a local glass company, I had my 94 replaced and it cost me ~$200.
-Enjoy

okay, glad to hear it isn't one of those damn seals that I'd have to use rope seat it. hate those
The Pick 'N Pulls say they have them. I'm going to check with a few and see. $100 for a used one vs. $180 for one installed...not a bad price really, but $80 saved is $80 saved
also, just in case there is rust...I can fix it first
that's a major worry I'm having
luckily I can repair the damage myself. I've gotten good at sheet metal repair lately

I assure you, that $80 difference is well worth it ...
Take yours out, fix the rust, call the glass shop, they'll come put a new one in ... Been there done that!
Nothing wrong with being destined for an education either!
