NOTE:
Sealer skips or pinholes can be seen along the exposed body seams (1)

NOTE:
A special area of concern is where the windshield and body seams meet at the upper a-pillar (1), which is shown in illustration.
Once the windshield molding is removed, inspect for sealer skips. Apply Mopar® Glass Sealer to any skip in the urethane around windshield.
For sealer skips in the A-Pillar body seam apply a Clear Hi-Flow Paintable Seam Sealer.
Prior to re-assembly, re-test the area to ensure it is properly sealed.
Carefully reinstall windshield molding. Refer to WEATHERSTRIP, Windshield, A-pillar, Installation .
