I think its panel bonder If your windshield is leaking, it's probably a bad seal or rust in the windshield channel itself. Very common on these vans as well. | | | Re: Yikes - Rust forming in gutter above windshield | Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 11,372 Likes: 427 Post Junkie | Post Junkie Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 11,372 Likes: 427 | Kursed.

I bet you buddy in Orange County ( Old Anvil ?? ) could tackle it. I know he could, but not sure if he would. His clientele are mostly super high end hot rods. Would probably cost a fortune. | | | Re: Yikes - Rust forming in gutter above windshield | Joined: Jun 2020 Posts: 257 Likes: 48 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Jun 2020 Posts: 257 Likes: 48 | Reviving this thread a bit.
I'm now looking for a donor van to get a new top of the windshield frame, and a few inches down on the A pillars. Every body work man I talk to says it's the only way to put in a new windshield. It's just too rusted on the inside. From reading this post, it looks like the roof is a separate piece completely. My plan is to go look at part out vans until I find one that seems to be rust free in that area (Good luck me). I'm near Atlanta, I should be able to find something, if not on Craigslist, at a junkyard, or somewhere.
Anyone local, or in the southeast, have any suggestions? I know frscke1 replaced the whole side of big red, and worked with some type of junkyard to get that over to the body shop. I'd love to find someone near Atlanta, or in the southeast willing to do the same. Luckily the piece of frame I need I can fit inside the van.
Lastly, I assume any G20 or G30 from 71'-86' will work as a donor, someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
