Windscreen Leak

[bigfoot2]

hi all

found a pool of water on the front passenger floor under carpet, coudnt find leak,

so i washed the car and found beads of water coming in on the side of the windscreen, i will have to strip interior to see how bad it is.

i think the late frost we had a few weeks ago is the culprit.

does anyone know what type of sealant i will need?

thank you.

Winscreens are usually bonded with a polyurethane sealant, commonly referred to as "screen bond", I dont know how easy it would be to retrofit it as it really requires the 2 parts (screen and shell) to be seperate initially so the sealant can be sandwiched between.

 

I would be tempted to pop into your local autoglazing specialist and see what the say.

thanks tiny

ive been reading through the forums and found members having more or less the same problem and using clear silicone sealant, to repair there leaks.

so im going to have a good look at it first and see how big the problem really is, if its a small leak then i will go with the silicone, (interior only)

if its a big job then i will take your advice and let the pro's have a look.

cheeers mate
