>Man. Now I hate spot welds. Removed the dash and loosened the steering column after the windshield was out.
>Right behind the fire wall is a support beam with about 2000 spot welds. Some had been welded in prior to the steering column being added.
>After 5 hours later I could see the damage. (add expletives here. Many of them...)
>Both hinges rusted at the top along the seam that holds the rubber for the windshield.
>
>The new stuff could be made from sheet, but it would take about 5 pieces as the curves are complex. Each would need to be fitted and seam welded. What the hell, I dont have a life :)

>Pictures being taken and a tutorial for any one thats stupid enough to try this....
