Finally called the mobile windshield guy to replace my cracked windshield. He pulled off the moulding and then stopped. Showed me some rust underneath and told me that I needed to have a shop clean it out to the good metal. Otherwise, it'll get worse and then just leak. Ugh.

So I guess I really need to have the paint job done now and add on the rust repair around the windshield area. That's gonna up the cost big time! But with all my recent repairs and upgrades, I can't stop here! So I'll go to the shop I was going to have paint my rig and get a new quote.

Actually it had a few cracks. The sound was very noticeable. Don't know if its any better now tho. Got it all back together and have an air leak around the intake mani. It's to late to tear it down so ill have to get a new gasket and some copper rtv and do it again tomorrow. I should have put the rtv on the first time.
