Leaky windscreen

Post by Grumpy21 »

Hi. Attended the club ‘chippy meet’ last night which as it turned out was held during Prestatyns monsoon

Naturally I had a little leakage around the bottom corners of the windscreen.

As I had a new seal fitted last year as part of a bare re spray I’m thinking a touch of sealant may be required.

What do folks recommend please

Capt Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure. Does it every time for me.

Having re-sealed the sunroofs on our Discovery 2 I still had a very small residual leak which I sorted with Capt. Tolley's.

Another thumbs up for Capt Tolley's, I sealed a leak on the caravan seam. You may have to apply it several times.

It is also excellent for filling any small gaps in Traveller woodwork to prevent water getting into the joints.

I used a bead of the non setting type of windscreen sealer on both the glass and body side of the seal, it was messy but no leaks.
