Leaking Roof/Window...

Post by Warrior »

Nothing major but an annoying occasional drizzle down the inside of the passenger side window when washing or as today when the rain is driving down.

I can't see anything obviously wrong with the seal between the top of the window and the roof rubber and therefore haven't got a clue what to do!?

Checked the rubber out and it's almost ceratainly as described in the article.

It mentions Gorilla Glue........and Gorilla make Super Glue, Wood Glue and general purpose glue so need to source the right product now.

I used black silicon sealant from Halfords.

i got hold of some gorilla glue from 'The Range' it was about £6.99, this stuff is good as it expands when setting, did both sides of mine and worked a treat. hope this helps
