thanks for replying.
the windshield is original, but the rubber gasket at base of windshield before the wipers is pretty worn out. below the wipers under the hood is that gutter that goes across the engine bay and I can't get it off. there are small plastic screws that I won't budge and I'm afraid to break them. is there some trick to this. I was just forcing my hand under the gutter to get out the leaves but probably didn't get them all.
