This car and its windshield woes continue. The studs for the molding snapped in 2 places. So we removed the windshield to get studs for the molding clips. Plus we only have luck using the original clips.

The Ford repair kits use a small flat head trim screw to replace the broken stud. I always use the original clips.

Would it be beneficial to add studs to make the molding more secure?
Which gasket maker do you prefer?
Daniel Carpenter USA made or Steele Rubber gasket?

Does your car have an upper console? If you want one now's the time to add it.

Windshield went it pretty easy considering it was my first time doing it. With the help of my brother in law. We used WCCC and Mustangs to Fear video and Marty’s suggestions.

Anybody have good experiences with their windshield wipers? I have new wipers and the frames are new as well and it doesn’t wipe very well. Any ideas?
