From another forum I got the following feedback:

"I think 90 still came from the factory w/ the metal trim clipped to the windshield, right? I'm thinking it was 91 that got the much improved windshield. The runner seal is built into the windhield and you don't use the clips at all. You definitely want the new style glass...not only is it easier to install but it seals better too."


I took the car to the body shop today for a work estimate. The windshield will be removed in mid-January, the rust issue resolved and the windshield reinstalled.

I have the 1990 old style windshield with the clips and the metal trim in the center of the rubber gasket around the windshield. I'm not sure what theses clips look like. To cut down on the cost, if the windshield is not damaged on removal, I will have it reinstalled.

Can it be reinstalled without the clips as per the 1993 windshield that has the runner seal built into the windshield? Or since it is a 1990 variant, must the clips be used?

Not know what either type of windshield looks like, I do not know if this is possible or makes sense.

Any pictures would help me understand this.

thanks
