I have the interior of my 1963 Dart GT hardtop stripped for restoration. Both front and rear windshields have been redone with Steele Rubber gaskets and, after much struggle and returns to the glass shop, are now watertight.
While testing with a shower nozzle on the hose, I noticed that the water stream running down the rear of the roof side rail partially diverts against the rear quarter window, running down the glass and easily past the new 'fuzzy' into the rear fender area between the door post and rear wheel house.
Although there are drain holes in this panel, and there is normally a moisture barrier membrane glued to the interior side behind the upholstery panel, I can't believe that this is supposed to be designed this way....just inviting the tinworm!!
My car was far from complete or original when it came to me; is there some piece missing or REALLY badly aligned to cause this?
My apologies for the attached pics....for some reason, they loaded upside-down!
