My $0.02...Ask anyone doing the seal replacement if it comes to that, have you personally done this type of windshield before? If not, run. If yes, respectfully ask them how they do it. If that bothers them, run.

There is a factory recommended step-by-step procedure to do this job. I've done it and it works very well. Takes 3-4 hours and is an experienced DIY level task. Taking time and doing it yourself as per the factory procedure will likely result in a much better result than an inexperienced on this type glass pro learning on yours.

I'd use a factory seal if you can find one.

It is common for them to leak down low in the area under the grills on the cowling between the hood and the windshield. Remove the grills and look for any perforations.

Good luck!!!
