Some months ago I cracked the windscreen on the '98 petrol 80. I was very reluctant to change the windscreen, because I just knew the new one would be a leak problem. Unfortunately the crack began to creep and grew too large to ignore. Would have failed next MOT for sure.
So very reluctantly, I got a new windscreen and new rubber. Got a windscreen chap to fit it, and watched the job, including the rebounding to the bodywork.
Job looked good and I was pretty happy with the fit, finish and service. The fitter is qualified and used by Aston/Ferrari/Bently/Porsche etc etc and has a good reputation for thorough work, particularly with tricky screens on some of these exotic cars, so I don't think it's his poor workmanship.
Well surprise, surprise, coming back in the driving rain, what did I find...
The bloody thing is leaking bottom left corner.
I've got the installer coming back to have a look see., but does anyone have any useful suggestions for a fix?
Does the screen need to come out again?
Is there a special trick to sealing these?
TIA
