Under dash leak(s) 140-160 1969

Hi Chris,
>Can you *see* the water coming in?

The car is never with me(it's my Mom's)
when it's raining and I'd hate to leave
her without it for a week.

>Does yours have the butyl rope + cliped on trim + plastic
skirt inside?

No, it's a 1969 with a rubber gasket that is about
one year old.

>What kind of shape was the paint / metal like under the
trim / gasket when you pulled out the old glass? On my 68
there were little drains in the bottom corners of the
windshield hole. One had been painted over but the other
was intact.

The paint was like brand new except a rusty spot by the
passenger side drain hole. I covered this hole up with Por 15,
foil tape, then more POR 15 since I was going to add bedding
compound anyway. I'm not real comfortable with insatlling
the gasket dry, there's always hard factory compound there
when I take the old glass out.
I've suspected those corner drain holes before but I remember
testing them and they would/could/should drain the same place
as the air vent; out the rocker panels.
It shouldn't matter if they are there or not, right?
Thanks for your words,
Shayne.
