As some may now I have a water leak problem which I'm yet to find out. Noticed a while ago that the rubber at the bottom of the windscreen joining the shuttle panel was loose as pictured below and the drivers side is firmly in place.

Does anybody know how they are held in place, how hard they are to remove and also if they were to be removed and you were to pour water in where would in drain to/go?

Cheers Smile

They are basically plastic panels with a softer plastic edge. They're held on with those plastic clips that break all the time. The panels aren't there to seal against the glass.

Cheers guys. Can you grab me the part numbers for those Lee and how many I'd need for both sides if possible please Smile

Only one small cable going though the bulkhead and that isn't causing the leak as it's bone dry there.

Think I should be able to just get away with new clips? Rather not spend £22 if I don't need to haha.

Anyone also know where the water would drain to if it was to go down there?

take it off, heatthat corner up and remold it to be the shape you want until it cools.

You can heat it in boiling water and use masking tape to hold it in place. When cool - refist and see if it needs asjustment. Repeat.

If it's rubber, it's worth a try - boiling a kettle is cheaper than replacement parts.

If you do not try you will NEVER succeed!

What He Said

Screen is bonded in, if you are sure the leak is coming in through the screen ask a windscreen fitter how many beer tokens it is to reseal the screen Wink
