You're in! That is about as concise as I'v ever seen one of those write-ups on this style of seal. If it looks like too much work and/or you dont want to risk a new windshield, your local glass installers can put this in AND probably have a guarantee to go with it. East now sells a windshield reconditioning kit that looks pretty sweet. I saw it on a recent episode of "trucks!" on Spike TV. Looked like a great way to recondition your glass, and a better time than having it already out would be hard to find. Be sure to get a new gasket in hand and say that you have one if you ask for a quote from the glass shop. They'll probably think that they can't be obtained for that "ol' forrin' car" that just pulled into their driveway. (!)
