To add to the thread, here's what has led to the need for extensive surgery. A previous owner decided to use some non-automotive silicone sealant to "fix" leaks in places that didn't leak, like around the wiper motor and the drip rail on the firewall. He even created a dam with some of his sealer and that has made me eliminate the factory a/c unit in favor of an aftermarket unit to be done in the future. The wiper motor fell out one morning when I was starting off to work. The other damage was revealed as the disassembly was done.
The pix will display what I'm talking about.
