52 Leaky Windshield:
I have had new glass with new gasket installed in my 1952 F-1 and the darn thing still leakes in both corners.I took it back to the place that installed it and they re-sealed it again and it still leakes?I am stumped on this problem!Has anyone else experienced this problem?The gasket came from DC.What else is there to do?

I have gaps in my lower corners that I could drive a train through. I got the glass from LMC and the seal from DC. What's odd is that the new glass matched the old glass perfectly, so imho it's got to be the seal. However, there have been folks that have had the glass shops supply both the glass and seal with great success. I think that will be my next move. I don't think my cab opening grew larger.

I have come to the conclusion they all leaked when they came off the assembly line!Some good some bad.And the cowl vent-well thats another problem.I do know I think Bob Drakes cowl vent rubber has a lip on it that I am going to try?
