Default Windshield Rust

So this is more of a heads up than anything. My jeep is in getting a new windshield because of all of my cracks and imbedded metal from parking under a welder. so ya any way Ive always had a sneaking suspicion that my lower windshield seal leaked. they guy from the shop just called me and ya he said its been leaking for a while and its rusted out in there. hes going to grind it, paint on rust deadener, and primer, and then install the windshield. this sucks and all but its only 80$ extra for the grinding and extra work.

I just wanted to throw this all out there. my guages were fogging up and I get water down on my passenger floor board. the floor board isnt a big deal cuz its rhino lined and I pop my drain out. but maybe this will solve it!!!
