Blah! I have basically a centimeter of rust ALL the way around my windshield that over the winter went from being barely visible to being visible to a few feet away. On the A-Pillar, there are 3 or 4 spots of rust bubbling from the gasket about the size of a quarter. And the worst part is, my windshield leaks like Niagra Falls. In moderate rain, I get about a drop every 10 second from the top center. I have permanently installed some paper towels behind the rear view mirror to catch some of this. In a thunderstorm, I'll get almost a steady stream from up above, and then some water intrusion from the bottom of the windshield as well. I know its not factory glass as it says "ppg" all over it (and definitely does not exhibit any UV/IR reflection), so whoever replaced the glass last did a piss-poor job. I don't think i'd want to tackle the rust myself (and have it come out looking decent). Would it be worth it to have someone do the rust and windshield at the same time? I'm guessing those big name brand "we'll come to you" outfits wouldn't take care of rust, right? anyone know of a good place in southern Maine/northern New England that might tackle this sort of job and not take ALL of my money (I am a poor college student after all!)
