Re[2]: Leaking Windshields

Jim,
Would you please elaborate on your comment about allowing the paint to 
drain.  It sounds like you're saying that the car was dipped in a paint vat 
with the windows and seals installed immediately afterwards...an very 
awkward and strange procedure, to say the least!

I believe on a type III the bottom corners of the windshield form pockets,
or low points that will hold water.  There are also a couple of holes there
that lead into the interior that I am guessing were to allow the paint to
drain from the body.  These are covered by tape at the factory, but might be
to blame for part of the trouble many of us have.
