Thread: Above windscreen rust

When trying to stop water leaking into my D1, I found the seam sealant in the gutters had failed, I poured fish oil in the gutter whilst the trim around rear side window was off, and in came in a lot of spots along joint also at the front behind the ECU (V8) I checked a couple of other cars, and they both had the same issue so I suspect most D1's may have this issue, as the top of the windscreen is at the same level this maybe where the water gets in, have you checked under the sound deadening stuff under the carpet in the front foot wells and near the back corner the water was sitting under there on mine even though the carpet seemed dry.

Yep, i get the classic wet floors sometimes. I always thought it was leaking in via the inner front wings (or possible rusty inner wings) somehow - so the gutter sealant idea is interesting!
I'm going to pull down the headliner and check out the edge of the inner roof sheet that runs along near the windscreen as well.
Has anyone got the top roof edge that the windscreen sticks to replaced before - new one welded in?

i repainted roof on mine. theres a thread somewhere. will fish it out for you. pulled windscreen out and had some rust but not too bad. i grinded it back and etched, filled and painted it black. then a pro windscreen fitter came and put windscreen back on for me and had new finishers to go with it. had been doing fine since. i know you can cut and well it too. mine didnt need it but ended up welding a bit of the alpine window back at the same time.
