Dealing with leaking windshield bottom gasket
Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2022 7:40 am
When we restored the truck, the windshield frame got all new rubber. The issue is the cowl is not uniformly smooth on top due to age or something else.
What have any of you done to prevent wet shoes inside the cab when it's raining? I do try to avoid driving in the rain but it does happen sometimes. My truck isn't like many WWII vehicle that can never get wet else they melt.
I've heard about layering blue tape on the cowl and filling the gap on the rubber gasket with black gasket compound. The frame is locked upright and the goop is allowed to cure. Then you remove the tape from the cowl and the plan is the caulk sticks to the gasket and seals the leaks.
Has anyone tried this? Or is there another solution. I did have a guy one suggest to move the gasket forward by a small amount.
