This is what I am about to repair. The windshield is cracked, ordered a new unit ($300 installed) and I am asking them to R&R the rear. They offered to come out and remove the windshield, allow me to clean and repaint, then return for the install. I am going to ask them to do both with new gaskets. I'll share the findings.
Now to find that thread...
