Thread: Leaking windscreen / wet roof lining - Troubleshoot?

No sunroof. I wish. Or maybe not!

I believe the water is coming in from the top left corner. I've run water down the left gutter, around the roof rails and down the middle of the roof onto the top rubber seal of the screen. If I get the screen done again I think I'll be hanging around to watch.

I don't think they will remove and replace the screen foryou. They will simply chuck more sealer around it and hope you go away. It's the type of job that has to be done right the first time, using a genuine rubber. Mine was done under insurance and they did indeed use a non-genuine screen fitted with ALL required genuine seals. Not a single leak!. The old screen leaked from the top left corner due to shrinkage of the rubber and a missing corner seal.

Is the missing corner seal visible from the outside or does the trim need to be removed? I was of the impression that it was a matter of heaps of silicon, put screen in place and more silicon.

Not silcone, it's polyurethane (common one is sikaflex)
