[DeTomaso] Windshield

[klckmac at msn.com]

My trim is up a little at the base as well, that's one of the reasons I'm looking at a flush mount style. Maybe he has one as well. It's interesting how much stuff can get under the trim over the years and compromise the seal and the body of the car, like any old car of that era. Thx for the info,
Ken
