    leaking windscreen tips i heard today

    had the local screen fitter in at aulro central today to pop the screen out of the wife's d1 and he said a couple of things i don't recall hearing before

    if you touch up the paint around a windscreen make sure you use a good primer then use 2 pac paint to paint it.

    the activator they use to glue the screen just melts acrylics etc and the screen wont seal at all well as the glue will lift easily.

    also the d2 leaking over the top of the screen is a manufacturing fault in that landrover often missed using sealant in the two seams in the front of the roof

    hopefully he wasn't telling me porkies

    found some surface rust round the screen seats on the disco so cleaned and primed and will hit it with some 2pac tomorrow

    went round to my local paint shop and got 250ml of 2 pac and enough hardener to suit for $30, which should do the job easily.

    new trims from mr and hopefully no more leaking screen after it is all fitted back up in a day or two

    how long does 2 pac take to dry and harden up enough to have the screen fitted again?

    You want the paint to dry faster you add more part B hardener.

    Over night should be OK Dave, usually 2 hours in a heated booth would be good to go.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Yes

    For several reasons including getting rid of the rust and sorting the trim that was crook

    Will hit it with the hose next week to see if the leak is sorted
