<VV> repairing the windshield channel

[J R Read_HML]

Well, if there is no rust through or evidence that water has been leaking 
in, you can likely get away with just a good clean up and protective 
coating.  Be aware that this seems to be one of the more common rust areas, 
so do everything you can to slow that oxidation process.
