Leaky windscreen
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 |

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

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