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,
