Got caught in a huge storm on the weekend and the amount of water coming in made me finally decide to do something about it. Water came in between the windscreen bottom seal and the scuttle, all around the screen glass as well as the usual between the top of the screen and the hood. I ordered and received today the screen seals and the screen to shroud seal and have just removed the windscreen from the car. There was no sealant between the screen bottom seal and the shroud top, just what appeared to be black paint. Should there be a non setting sealant there or is the rubber seal sufficient when new. If a sealant is used, which one is recommended?
The screen to frame seal came as two parts, the molded seal which the glass fits into but also a second seal, rectangular about a quarter inch by an inch or so. Where does that seal go? car is a BJ8 phase 2.
Any other suggestions as to what else can be done to stop the water getting in, other than keeping out of the rain, would be welcome.
