Damn Leak

[Dave307]

Hi.
I have read wiki and old posts about front foot well leaks.
Everyone one had said windscreen seal. So i have now changed the seal (professionally done) and i atoll have a major leak. Each time it rains i end up with a puddle in the passenger for well.
My bus is a 1986 1.9 . When the screen was or i checked for rust and there was none the body was perfect. So why leak still.
Not sure but think its now affecting my electrics as fuses keep blowing.

All ideas welcome as the puddles are huge and i am concerned it will rust my baby boy.

did you use a genuine seal? apparently the pattern parts are not a very reproduction and may still leak.
was the aperture cleaned well prior to the new seal being fitted.

You need to use a genuine seal and also check washer jets and wiper grommets for leaks and aerial if you have one.

Mm sent me the link to the seal. So I'm guessing its a good one......
Yes the whole frame was cleaned and wiped down prior to new one being fitted.
Will have to look at wipers etc. they all seem like solid plastic units. Should they be.

aye if you bought from there it was a genuine one.
when it was out did you or they look for staining on the cab side of the screen flange?

I didn't know to look to be honest i just checked it was not rusty




The bloke who fitted said it all logged solid and in good condition.
Gonna check wipers etc at the weekend and have a guy coming to sort electrics on Friday so hoping while he is doing that i can find the leak.

Have you tried Captain Tolley's creeping crack cure? Worked wonders for leaks on my van.

need to find the leak before filling stuff with 'product'
