Get the water out 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be B.C. on  Thu Nov 15 16:42 CST 2001 [RELATED]

A leaking windshield, you say? Tough to fix. In your shoes I would pull the from carpet and mats, and replace them with old newspapers. A lot of them, and put in with a mind to replacing them easily. If you have floor mats or those nice floor mud pans put them on top of the papers. Even use some old carpet (house type) on top of the papers. Just get the water out.

I suppose that below the wet papers will freeze together, so have that in mind when placing them.

Can you get a big plastic drop cloth (get the thickest one they have) from a local hardware store? And a bunch of small magnets? You could cover the windshield, top to bottom and side to side, at least for overnight and while parked at work.

How is your a/c? We have experienced very dry air by running both the heater and the a/c simultaneously. It takes some tweaking of setting the heat, fan speed, and a/c level, but man is it able to dry the air.

Good Luck,

Bob
