I have had the same problem with old Jags... if not caught early they can really get bad... just got to bite the bullet. I fixed mine and it may fall apart next week.. but I gave it my best shot... If it doesn't work I will bring it top a body shop next...

Crusen  -How did the install go? What was the brand name of the sealer.  Ya, I'm glad I bought when I did, each $ saved is one more to spend on the beast

Been a little delay getting my dash in.... I did the spray dye on the dash... it was original, no cracks but just didin't look clean... tried everything to get it clean...really looks good as new now,  will have the glass installed this week i hope. I will let you know when I get it back together and take some pics...

Problem with windshield I won on e-Bay. Well it just is not exactly the same as advertised (pictured on e-Bay) and the glass installer said he would not guarantee it as it was not correct.. the bottom section is obviously wrong.. as the picture below shows... If you got one check it before you install it or pay someone to do it as I did.. now I have to put the old one in or buy another.. I sent an e-mail to the seller.. and will see what they say.. it is definitely not the same as shown on e-bay.. i hope it is just an honest  ($140) mistake...
