Thanks to all. I replaced a VW bug windshield years ago-it was not too hard. My concern is that the Volvo gasket is old and brittle. I talked to a local installer and he said sometimes one can cut away the old gasket. Mine also has the chrome trim that would add a step. Guess a glass man would have all the tools, spatulas,etc.

I bought a new trunk gasket, but upon inspection I think my main trunk leak is the result of part of the old gasket coming unglued allowing water to flow underneath the mating surface. I think I`ll try re-gluing it first.

Is the windhield gasket the main source of water on the front floorboards?
