Rust under the windshield.
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...beda1780d.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...9efa3b2f3.jpeg Hey guys, can someone help me with how I should go about repairing the rusted out spots where my windshield sits? I pulled the windshield out and noticed several places where there were holes through the metal. I have cleaned the areas real good and bought some por15 treatment kit. But what should I fill the holes with? I’m really not wanting to cut and weld in new metal. Here are pics of the worst spots.....the bottom left and bottom right corners. |

Do it RIGHT like Jeep did; No stupid trim that traps dirt and even saltwater, and cause rust like you just found. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/PA...=w1338-h607-no |

LOL I am kind of curious how much junk is behind my window trim. I bet there is quite a bit even though my truck is pretty clean. :safari: |

Thanks guys. I have read those other threads and they are all very helpful. Just didnt know if my problem looked to serious for body filler, which is what i would rather do than weld new metal.

Dumb question....what is the best way to remove the chrome trim around the windshield.
Today I was looking and saw something similar but did not want to ruin the trim. Thank you.... |
This is for an 85 but should be similar

You're almost guaranteed to break some clips. It would be a good idea to avoid deforming the chrome (stainless steel really) trim. Absolutely not a god idea to re-install. You can sell them to the UN-KNOWING or those who like rust around the windshield- LOL!
