Can you see the rusted windshield/seal area from under rain tray?

[julie at menloparkrandd.com (julie@menloparkrandd.com)]

Once the tar was scrapped away, yes, but it wasn't much. It came in under the windshield and just sat on the metal and rotted it away.
Believe me, when I started work on the indash wiring I checked REAL well :)
Good luck!
