1. Its junk. These frames rot from the inside of the tubing due to moisture. Its almost impossible to remove rust from the inside as the tubing crimps prevent any flushing of rust removal chemicals. Then trying to weld you have entire sections disappear when you melt a thin foil section.


2. Decent reproductions are currently available for cars or pickups. Get one when you can. Save the upper mounting brackets, you will need them and the car ones are not reproduced (I do make the pickup ones). Cabriolet/Station wagon windshield frames are not currently reproduced that I know of, and are unlikely to become available again.


3. If you cannot bear to throw out the part (I know, the thought hurts) consider a repurpose... A windshield frame makes a great shadow box frame for photos and memorabilia that goes with the car.
