After 2 days of rain i have noticed a leak inside the car coming from the corner of the windscreen seal which is not good news! O_O

Can it be resealed (guessing some form of sealant?) in situ or do i have to take the windscreen off :X

 

Want to nip it in the bud before it starts to rust (if not already) behind the dash

 

Thanks

 

Lenny

Len a quick,decent fix is black rubber sealant halfords etc have it.

 

I did mine some weeks ago, and had no leaks since although there's no guarantee

clean anything out of the rubber first... bit of turps would do it

 

Found it best to run a small screwdriver inside the rubber with the sealant following behind,best to over-use and then use a sharp blade to remove excess

Oh, and make sure to do both lower corners :D
