Windshield Leaks
Joe:

That is doable, though often times the leaks are between the gasket and
metal edging. Contact a local school bus repair shop, if any and see if
they have a back up windshield, both sides, and a new gasket. If so then
you have many options to cheese from. I was lucky in my '84 FC, the zip
strip out sealer and re apply the zip strip worked,

Safe travels,
