The 1988 wagon I got for my son last winter has suddenly started developing the Wet Floor Disease. I have now removed the interior completely, front and rear, carpets and insulation are now taken inside to dry. With the garden hose placed on the roof, I placed myself on my back where the driver's seat used to be, lamp in hand. It seems that the water is entering the car through a leak in the lower left side corner of the windshield.

I realize (read: guess) that the proper fix is to have the windshield removed and reinstalled. Alternatively, to remove the trim and add new goop in the problem area.

But are there any shortcuts I can take for a not-so-proper fix? What I have in mind is to pry the trim away from the glass, and apply silicone through a thin nozzle. I'm thinking of using one of those hand pumps with a cartridge. If this is too optimistic, is it hard to remove and reinstall the windshield trim?

As always, comments and advice are highly appreciated.

Erling.
