Does anyone know hot to resolve water leaks on front and rear windshield on 1968 Mustang Coupe

If it's really leaking around the windshield or backglass, there's only one ting to do. Remove the glass, put in a new rubber gasket with sealer and reinstall the glass. It's not really easy and requires two people to accomplish. You might consider having it done professionally. I've done it several times on my '66, but they're a little different than a '68. If you want to attempt it yourself, get a restoration book or two and read up on it first. Go slow and be careful. I cracked a windshield once doing this.

Listem to REV. You have to remove and replace with NEW gasket and seal it in. Make sure that you clean the old stuff up real good on the glass and the opening. Also, make sure that there isn't any lumps or funny welds along where the gasket goes.
