Windshield leak
 

I had a new windshield installed after getting cab painted on my '67.Installer had a hard time on install (weatherstrip has molding),took him about six hours.Precision weatherstrip was used.I always had a leak in both floorboards,worse in passenger side.I still have the same leaks,bad as always.I looked under dash during rainstorm,the leaks are coming from a small slot in each corner of the windshield channel.Unsure if slots are factory or rust related,they are symmetrical.Thought about seam sealing the holes up from under the dash,but concerned that would only band-aid the issue.Any thoughts?If windshield has to be removed and reinstalled,any recommendations on qualified installer in central Ky.?Thanks.

You would be correct in your assumption. Placing seam sealer only worsens the problem. It could also be that the exterior of the cowl hidden by the cowl cover has some areas that are in need of repair.

It is one of the big problem areas.

The slots are drain holes. You should be able to see them if you look at the top corners of the dash in the same areas. Do not fill them. Use some sealer on both top corners of the windshield gasket, six inches over from the corner and three inches down the sides, and see what that does.
