    Help! Leaking D2

    My D2 is leaking at the top of the A pillar on the drivers side and along that side of the headlining along the windscreen. Not to the point of dripping but getting quite damp. I have checked the gutters for obstructions but I am not 100% sure what to look for. The drivers side looks the same as the passenger so I'm out of ideas.

    I only bought it a week ago and there appeared to be a bit of a stain there from previous water entry.

    Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

    What should I do apart from breaking out the roofing silicone?

    Thanks

    Have a look behind the rubber in the top corners of the windscreen. Quite often they leak there particularly after a windscreen has been replaced. I resealed mine right across the top behind the rubber paying particular attention to the corners. Thoroughly clean the area behind the rubber first then use windscreen sealant in the gap behind the rubber.

    Regards

    I'll bet it has an aftermarket windscreen.

    Dont break out roofing silicone, take it to a windscreen mob...

    Aftermarket glass doesnt quite follow the curve properly and needs more sealant.

    Thanks for the replies guys. I will put the silicone away and seek the advice of windscreen professionals.

    At least the rain has stopped here in Brisbane..... for now.
