[T3] Fuse Box caution....

[Max Welton]

It has been my experience that many glass installers have never dealt with an old VW. 

A little like taking your type-2 to Jiffy-Lube for an oil change.

When a windshield leaks there is no good quick fix.  The best method is to replace the seal.  If you are not adept at replacing glass (and most of us are not), I recommend removing the windshield by cutting the current seal using a utility knife, purchasing a new seal and call a local automotive glass installer to re-install the windshield.

No big problem, unless you're in the Lincoln Tunnel or something.   Undid the fuse box, dried as much as possible, stuck paper towels along inside of window rubber...and all was well. So far.
