Hey Forum,
I was washing the Elco after I received it. As I was spraying the area above the wing window I noticed that a lot of water was leaking into the car through that same area. The weatherstripping seemed fine, but you never know. I did noticed some missing screws along the top of the inside of the door (see pic). Would that crest a large leak? I’m going to buy some new screws, since I found one from the other side. But what do you think

It’s a 71 SS.

I think those screws hold the vent window fame in position. Probably didn't do permanent damage.

Oh that explains why there was a large leak when I washed the car. I have new screws and ordered new weatherstripping. Thanks
