VIN: [XXX]. DATE: 10NOV04. VEHICLE: 1999 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA. PROBLEM: WHEN I REMOVED THE WINDSHIELD FRAME TO REPAIR A CRACKED WINDSHIELD I DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD FRAME MOUNTING BRACKET WAS NOT PROPERLY MOUNTED/WELDED/SEALED IN PLACE LIKE THE DRIVER'S SIDE ONE WAS. THE BRACKET FELL BACK INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD FRAME AND IS NOW IRREPARABLE.
