Well I recently had my windshield replaced (actually on March 27th, 2 days prior this posting) and the damn thing leaks, bad... before it was just in the lower corners, it now I literally have streams down the inside of the windshield... I live in Everett so i see 20+ inches of rain annually...
Now the question... new gasket or reuse the old? The tech (claimed he has done a lot of pinch type windshield gaskets, and about 50ish) said mine was still good and new ones take years to relax and it will leak from day one... so he reused my old one... the shop can get a new gasket, but they are reluctant to do so...
I owned it for the past 18 years so I know it hasent been done in that time, but not sure if it was replaced before then. The old glass did not have the blue shade on the top...
