Now what exactly is "pansy" about trying to keep rust off your jeep? If
some "pansy" hadn't put silicone under my Jeeps hinges I would have had
to replace the windshield frame, and cut and welded new sheet on the
pillars. Do you actually have a rational reason for that comment or as
usual are you just talking out your ***?

No. It is a function that makes a CJ a CJ and it should work. After using oil
in the hinges, slowly move the windshild back and forth and see if it goes down
further each time....if so, you caught it in time before it completely rust
shut. Once it is working, clean the seal and wax the paint on top of the cowl
(where the seal rest) to help keep it from leaking. You should lower the
windshield once a year at least to inspect for rust or any problems.
