alright fellas,
finally got all the mechanicals sorted on my truck...(knocking on wood)
when i bought it, i quickly found out that the windshield had been replaced at some point...poorly. there is goop oozing out on the inside everywhere and now it leaks a little in the lower passenger corner. I have been storing it in the garage, so it hasnt been a big deal, but now I want it fixed.
I know insurance will pay for it, but I absolute despise all of those glass-pro type window fix people. Every install I have ever seen is garbage. they never take the time to remove any of the trim on the inside of the truck or remove any of the old sealer, they just pile it on top of what is there. then it goos out over everything much like what i have now.
They do that on new cars, so imagine what they would do on a 25 year old "POS Toyota". They just dont care.
So I was wondering about doing it myself. It appears as though there is a gasket available from toyota, not the seal ****. is this true? Has anyone done this by themselves? how hard is it?
I know the glass will most likely break, but I have accepted that.
