water ingress

Post by tone »

In the last week or so , after heavy rain , water has got in on the driver's side foot well - looks like it is running down from under the dashboard but I can't be sure. The windscreen seal looks tight with no obvious cracks or gaps - any other places it could be getting in ? If it is the windscreen is it a case of getting a windscreen specialist to refit it with a new seal ?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Got my T25 last October and it was letting water in at the corners of the screen and wetting the top of the dash,I masked off the sides and bottom of the screen leaving approximately 2mm of glass showing and did the same to the rubber seal then gunned in black silicone(can't remember the type,though it was recommended by the
manufure)haven't had a problem since, cleaned it all well before starting. I'll let you know the brand tomorrow.
PS,looks extremely neat,totally unnoticeable.

Ever build K11 low modulus mastic, might be worth a try before you strip the windscreen out.
