Windshield Leaking?
O.K. I have another question. I've got a leak in the cab of my 96 Ranger that I can only assume is from the windshield. I can't see any water coming in but the floor is always wet after it rains. What is the procedure for removing the trim so I can apply silicone? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Take it to a glass shop and let them reseal it. To repair it right the glass needs to be removed, frame cleaned. The the wind shield can be reinstalled with the urethane sealer.
I have a ultrasonic leak detector I use to locate leaks with.

Igot a leak in the left top corner of mine too. Only does it when it rains hard. I need a new windshield anyways. What the guys said above, take it to a profesional shop, for safety reasons.
