Select all vertices on your model and weld with a threshold of about 0.01 (something like that. You use generic units, and I use meters, so my min threshold is 0.003m). Just select a small threshold that will not make any visible changes to your geometry.
If this doesn't work at all, or doesn't fix all your open edges, then go into edge mode, and select open edges. You may have to delete some faces and recreate them; for example, if you have 3 vertices in a row, but only create a face that includes 1 and 3 (and skips over 2), you get three open edges errors (I believe): 1 for the new face you made (1->3), and two for the row of vertices (1->2 and 2->3). Seems ot me your problems focus on the canopy, probably with the windshield faces that are not connected to the frame faces. |

When importing the wrl in max, ONLY keep the "create primitives" option checked.
Otherwise you will get errors shown outside of your model like you do now. |

Oh, and since you're using Max, you have the wonderful STL check modifier at your disposal. Use it to determine how many open edges and other common errors you have. But the wrl is still your best bet.
