>Hi all.
>I know this is a well explored subject lately, but my issue is a bit
>unique. My 68 sedan windshield has a huge crack all along the width. It
>doesn't bother me too much, but I will have to replace it at some
>point. Now, there is a windshield on e-bay that is cheap ($50, is that
>really cheap as the ad says?). However, here is my dilemma. A couple of
>years ago I had the old torn vinyl top re-done (white color to protect me
>from the Texas sun rather than black). The fellow that did the job
>discovered vast quantities of rust in the windshield area. He sanded the
>rust off on my instructions (had no $ to fix this professionally) and he
>attached the new vinyl material with some sealing material where the vinyl
>joins the windshield chrome, to prevent moisture re-entering the gap. My
>question is: if I replace the windshield now, will I be forced to have the
>rust fixed at the same time? Or is it possible to replace the windshield,
>re-apply the sealer, and defer the rust repair to the future. Anybody with
>prior experience with that please advise. Thanks.
