I have refitted the windscreen three times now - using three different rubbers... the last one was from C Baines and appears better than the rest, but there is STILL water leaking in at the bottom corners! The window goes in nice and tight, the rubber seems to press down well on the bodywork when the strip is inserted... but still leaks... I'm losing the will here...
And I don't want to resort to sealer!
A Micra it is!
Dear God still leaking...

Re: Dear God still leaking...
Whether you wan to or not, sealer is the only answer. Is the water coming between the rubber and the glass, or the rubber and the metal?

HI Had the same problem.
I used Dum Dum Sealer to fix it!
Less messey than a sealer.
And has worked for centries.
Hope That Helps.

Re: Dear God still leaking...
Hi, it is mainly leaking between metal and rubber - though there is some leaking between rubber and glass too... I read on here somebody using captain creep, then when dry black sealer like arbomast then putting the metal back in... I might try that before I use the remnants of my precious-now-rare dum dum lol.
Depressed because in today's rain I found several leaks... and only yesterday I'd started putting the interior back in ... does it never end?!
