    Windscreen water leak

    Hi guys,

    My windscreen has developed a leak at the top of the a pillar on the drivers side. When it rains I get a wet roof lining right in the corner sometimes wet enough to start dripping through quiet a lot.

    Anyone had experience with this?

    There is a tiny gap at the top is that supposed to be there? Or should I seal the gap up completely?
    I will take a photo to show what I mean
    Thanks

    That's the water stain on the roof liner this is in very light rain.
    A bit unclear but the other photo is the top corner of the windscreen

    The windscreen is bonded in so what you have shown should have no effect.
    I used to have some water coming in and dripping from the top of the door just at the front corner.

    IMHO , it turned out to be the front mount of the roof bar leaking, so I filled the gap between the bar and roof ( all of them) with Sikaflex.
    I drove 150Ks in sometimes pouring rain this morning and no water, although I admit I also silasticed the outside gaps as you show.

    The wetness of the headlining back quite a way supports the roof bar, but it could just seep back there.
    Regards Philip A

    Look at "Removing Windscreen Top Seal" posted 20th January as Sierafery has posted a Technical Bulletin that covers this problem.
