Amazon: Leaky windscreen

[volvogv]

Every time it rains, the right side floor gets soaked. I've been fixing a lot of other things but it got so bad I had to take action. First I removed the trims both inside and outside. Straight away I could see a big crack where water was getting in. After cutting out the original factory rubber which was hard as a rock, I found that the Tin Worm has been there. It will require a welded patch but for now I'm just fixing it the best I can with wire brush and paint. Scraped the old sealer along with some paint. The lady at the paint store mixed me up a pint of VOLVO-79 in enamel. Masked, then sprayed 2 coats of grey primer followed by 2 coats of enamel. My previous experience with enamel wasn't good, but today it turned out great. After dinner it had hardened up so my wife and I used the old pull string technique to install the windscreen. It was easier than I thought it would be. Still need to install the trims and apply some sealant.

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment!

Mike. Make sure you apply the sealant before the trims. And use plenty of sealant too.

Wow,

Don't think I would have got Mrs Notlob assisting with this sort of task! Top marks

It gets better......I talked her into squeezing out the sealant while I held up the rubber lip. She is tops! :-)
