the windshield frame rusts out usually behind the glass. remove the molding & look for paint blisters on top. when you are getting a new windshield is the time to fix it. my 88 did that & the 97 started to rust also but i caught it before it rusted through. rich i have two 2 92 dakotas. the roof leaks on both of them. no obvious rust. it keaks onto the headliner then runs out the front of it and pours on my legs when i hit the brakes. any ideas so many garys ..so.. clyde --- outgoing mail is certified virus free. checked by avg anti-virus system http//www.grisoft.com. version 6.0.688 / virus database 449 - release date 5/18/2004 .

and when you have to spend $600 rebuilding your pinchweld those waived deductibles and all those free steak dinners dont bring back such fond memories. watch them closely when you get your glass replaced and make your they grind off all rust and treat any scratches with pinchweld primer. -- from the desk of jesse a. harrington the windshield frame rusts out usually behind the glass. remove the molding & look for paint blisters on top. when you are getting a new windshield is the time to fix it. my 88 did that & the 97 started to rust also but i caught it before it rusted through. rich i have two 2 92 dakotas. the roof leaks on both of them. no obvious rust. it keaks onto the headliner then runs out the front of it and pours on my legs when i hit the brakes. any ideas so many garys ..so.. clyde --- outgoing mail is certified virus free. checked by avg anti-virus system http//www.grisoft.com. version 6.0.688 / virus database 449 - release date 5/18/2004 .
