    There are a number of products you can use - depending on what's happening.

    On Disco's with bonded windscreens, minor leaks can be fixed by injecting ordinary silicone based sealants into the gaps.

    Other major leaks on Disco's from the outside seal being out of place and leaking into the vents call for butyl rubber compounds under the edges of the seals ( There have been a few threads on this, I recall one by P38Arover on his daughters Tdi - there's even a LR maintenance bulletin too somewhere).

    The bonding agent for the windscreen could be something like whats mentioned in the sikaflex page

    I'd steer towards something in the butyl rubber side - it's sticky and messy but it does the job of sealing holes.

    Are you sure it's the screen?

    See http://www.aulro.com/afvb/technical-...tml#post664414

    If you want the Water Ingress Manual (it could be the one for the Defender), I think I have it at work and can email it.

    do not, i repeat, DO NOT use ANY silicone based products near a car..... it makes life a nightmare if you ever need paintwork done....

    sikaflex is what most professional installers use

    I did mine a few years ago with the Bitumanous Mastic under the outer seal. Worked until today's rain. I have a drip from the top of the passenger side top windscreen. Now have to wait for the Hot weather again for it to dry out.
