If you don't all-ready have your windshield out you are behind the power curve, it only takes about thirty seconds to remove it, then you have until the window elves get there to dry out any wet spots and patch up any rust, it is almost a given that you will find a spot or two of rust where moisture has seeped down along the inside edge of the seal and found a place to rest and has eaten through a portion of the metal that surrounds your windshield and/or cowl, take a good look now, if you are lucky the rust be in a non visible portion and you can get by with cutting away the bad metal, preparing the surface with POR 15, Spot filling and resurfacing with JB Weld metal and painting again with POR 15 before the professional window elves arrive. You will do a better job cleaning the frame then they will as well and they will be glad you did. Also read up on the installation just in case they haven't done it before, make sure they install the rubber onto the windshield, then the metal into the rubber then put the whole windshield into the car, I did it by myself, I would have loved to have 4 more hands.
