Windshield Frame Rust Repair w/ OSPHO & Rust-Oleum 

Your van must smell incredible!!! Hard no from me on this suggestion. While grease is effective at blocking oxygen from getting to the metal, it stinks and leaps off of any surface to find my favorite clothing.

@@FloridaVanMan i do not know what kind of grease you would use but never anyone getting in the car said something like that to me about this thing. grease is either outside (bumper) or covered by carpet. If you prefer rust and holes, it is your choice.

After MMS-Fest I will be addressing a slider window with rust. We'll see how it goes.

Well, I still have not addressed the slide door window rust. It just stares at me while I deal with other things. Soon.....

I had cut a pice of cardboard first and used that for a template cutting this plastic from a construction dumpster. Cardboard is better, especially if doing this only once.

I have some body panels for under the windshield and footwells. I get them from Poland where the van body is now being made for another driveline and brand. Shipping one or two items is very expensive so I buy them in bulk quantity. If you need a replacement panel I sell them for $100 + shipping to FVM support group members.

I am struggling with this van again today because the old paint that I brushed on failed Horribly!!! I've used OPSHO on about 8 vans and this is the only one having trouble, so I'm confident it was the left-over paint that had expired, or possibly I needed to add hardener and didn't know. I do have issues with paint wrinkling when weather is too humid or I rush between paint coats.

@@FloridaVanMan do you do anything to neutralize ospho

When painting with rattle cans I don't feel primer matters. I could be wrong. The original white paint on our Sprinters was Horrible and I chased after the flakes with spray paint for 14 years finding the primer to be the real problem, not the paint. It made me bias against primer. In theory primer should help paint bond better... That has not been my experience so I must be doing it wrong. :O)

OSPHO says it is a sealer, so I don't think primer would have any purpose on top of OSPHO.

Original flavor with a red label on one tube and black on the other. amzn.to/3ZUj4SM

@@FloridaVanMan thank you sir!

I pay $300 installed, but I have a regular guy who hasn't raised my price, though I know his prices have gone up for new customers. If he comes to pull the glass out on a different day so I can work on the frame, that would be an extra $100. I pull the glass myself, but I do not suggest this. I'm getting practiced at it, but if doing one or even 3 the learning curve is too expensive with tools purchased. you can do something else to earn the $100 much easier so just pay the man... :O)

OSPHO

I Think** it is 05104164AA but it has been a discontinued part for about 2 years. When the price went from $150 to $989 then 'unavailable' I found them in Poland and bought a bunch of them. I still have 3 left, selling for $450 and you must join our membership to place an order. floridavanman.com/donate/

LOL. I would not have connected the names without the other clues given here. See you soon.

Oh yes! He insisted I use paint with hardener "next time" and made this demand every time until I did, once! LOL! He has put in over a dozen windows for me and when having two done at once I used paint from an auto body shop and spray on the other van, trying to make a video comparison. It was a MESS and video was never completed. A month later we got 3 days of rain and the body shop paint wrinkled like Grandma's elbows. The glass lifted right out and no-doubt this was MY FAULT. But the lesson we both learned is body shop paint in the hands of a DIY-guy that just watched a few RU-vid videos is going to end badly. Since I make RU-vid videos for DIY-guys to learn from his argument didn't hold water (pardon the leaky windshield pun). Automotive paint requires knowledge, talent, skill, training... and dare I say, some artistic ability?

@@FloridaVanMan hysterical

I'm not a fan of Bondo after seeing rust grow under it. I don't know if JB Weld will be any better???

Another video from a clueless individual.
