Leaking Windshield
I have read the previous posts on how to remove the chrome windshield frame, but once removed is there a rubber gasket around the windshield? My windshield is leaking and wanted to know what is needed prior to removing the trim.

That would probably be black urethane windshield glue. Likely the reason it's leaking is rust holes. The right way to do it is to remove the windshield and scrape off all the old glue and weld up the holes or weld in a new section of pinchweld which you cut from a good wreck. The two bit way to do it is to remove the chrome strips and pressure wash around the window and then clean it all with acetone, make sure it's all dry and then fill'er all up with a tube of windshield urethane.
Or put insurance on it and throw a rock through it then take it to a glass shop.
Thich ever way you want.
