Window seals removal

The windshield has been replaced before and appears to be in good reuseable shape- no pitting, blasting, or chips. When you see bubbling coming out the lower lip area of the seal, it's always nerve-wracking to remove the windshield and seal...

The big reveal...windshield lower lip rust:

Obviously, that rust is going to have to be addressed before installing the new windshield seal. But wait, the installer of the previous one did not address it! The extent of it is the proof. Also, they painted the dash top (which was previously CE brown) black; and they painted that black over rust (non-treated rust). Expand these below 3 pictures to see.  You can see the rust behind their crappy masking job and you can also see the line where the rust is, under the paint. This rust WILL soon creep out.  Again, I'm no longer surprised to see things like this. People just too often fix the "face" problem and not the underlying issues.

Left side, rear- Good! :-)

Left side, center- Good! :-)

Right side, rear- mostly good, some rust on the front:

Rear hatch seal had been replaced. Rust on rear hatch lower lip:

Notes:
1) Not pictured here, the sliding door window opening appears to be good and rust free.
2) I have not removed the front cab door seals yet. There is some rust bubbling on the driver side.
3) As you may know, CE's have a stock greenish tint on the glass.  On this bus, the rear hatch glass was replaced with a clear (non-tinted) piece. Likely, the old glass broke and thus the reason for the replacement. We do have tinted glass in stock. :-)
