Rain Leak At Windshield - Hudson Eight 1930 Service & Operating Manual

Water which works past the windshield rubber weather strip collects at each lower corner inside windshield and
overflows directly beneath windshield rubber bumper; then runs down door post or drips from lower edge of
instrument panel. Examine windshield weather strip to see that it closes tightly. If top corners of rubber buckle when
windshield is closed, bevel top edge at an angle of about 50°. This allows rubber to more closely fit contour of body.
Remove windshield. Make punch mark at lower corner curve contour of cowl. This will be almost directly below
inner edge of rubber bumper and about 3/16" ahead of edge of flange on instrument panel. Remove rubber bumper
retainer strip. Using a 1/4" drill which is at least 3" long outside of chuck; drill straight through cowl and hinge pillar
post with drill pointing slightly back, and down at an angle of 35° to the horizontal. Clean paint from around edge of
hole and cowl, and tin with solder. Insert a straight piece of 1/4" copper tube 2-1/2" long, so that lower end is inside
of pillar post and upper end is about flush with cowl. Carefully solder upper end of tube to cowl. Trim down flush.
This provides a drain to lead the water away before it collects and overflows into car.
