Windshield Lower Corners

[mi396ss]

Does anybody make replacement patch panels for the lower corners of the windshield? Mine are rusting pretty badly and need to be replaced. Any information is appreciated.

I haven't seen any repair pieces for them.

I don't know how bad yours are or what your skill level is but I just made the pieces for mine.

My rust is very similar. What did you use to fix those? They look great.

Mine leaks on the drivers side. I'm confident when the windshield is out the metal will look similar. I read on here somewhere that there are drain holes under the windshield. Is this right? Or are they under the cowl?
When it rains hard, mine leaks behind the dash onto the floor. It appears to be the original windshield and rubber. The rubber outside is hard as a rock. I just don't want to plug holes that need to be open.

I just cut pieces from some scrap metal I had and welded them in. Don't use regular bondo to finish them off, use a product like Metal to Metal.

If you look in the corners of the dash on the inside, by the windshield, you will see the drain holes. Your leak will probably be where the body panels are welded together under the windshield gasket though.
