    Rusty skylights :)

    Okies well as the title states I have rusty sky lights. As some of you know there is a wee bit of a problem with rust forming around the lower edges of the skylights on a D1. Here is my fix. I have been putting this off for way to long and should have done this ages ago, but atm it doesnt seem as bad as I first thought



    This is from the inside with the front of the car to the left of shot




    The back end of the skylight





    See how we go. Just going down to super cheap to get some bits and pieces now.

    I've got the same problem, but only on the passenger side? ...unless the driver side is hidden under the rubber?

    Little bit of an update... The right hand side appears to be the worst and is all the way through. Not much I can do at the moment because time is tight. So will have to be a for now patch up.. But better then nothing.

    Here you can see what I was talking about above. It has eaten all the way through.

    The first sign of rust here is not the rust itself. Have a look at your rubbers - if they're lumpy then you have rust pushing them out in spots.
