Tim D. Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 A few years ago I fitted a replacement windscreen surround and a new seal. Since then it has never really sealed in heavy rain. The water comes through the seal between the windscreen and the seal. Particularly in the corners. How do I stop this? Was thinking of some black silicone sealant inserted between the glass and the seal.. Cheers Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Sikaflex (and others) make a good non-setting sealer for this. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Try Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure, a marine product thats thinner than water so creeps into crack then expands as it dries to seal. Its excelent ! Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bob-menhennett Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Seconded for Captain Tolley's !! Brilliant product .It goes on a milky white ( so you can see where you have applied it ) and dries " clear ". Clean the screen / rubber first to de-grease. Usually it " disappears " down the microscopic gap straight away , " Fill up " until a very thin line appears , sealing rubber to screen. If you seal up the corners that will probably cure it but for the few moments it would take , I'd do the whole perimeter , whilst you're at it. Quick , clean , effective what's not to like ?

A non setting windscreen sealer all round is the only way to go. Captain Tolleys is good but not that good for the amount of clearance you will inevitably have http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SCREEN-SEAL-SEALER-SEALANT-GLASS-WINDSCREEN-CLASSIC-CAR-BEDDING-BUTILE-/282386533612?hash=item41bf8c8cec:g:1p8AAOSw7GRZAeVj Stuart.

Steves_TR6 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Captain Tolleys cured my 'leaky corners' and has lasted several winters. If your gaps are big, then silkaflex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Cobbold Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Thanks Steve, Bob I'll give it a try. I'm not ready yet to replace the original seal ! Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Moss sell ArboMast and that appears to work well. http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?search_group=&q=screen+sealant Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim D. Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 It was a Moss screen seal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Captain Tolleys cured my 'leaky corners' and has lasted several winters. If your gaps are big, then silkaflex. Never use Sikaflex unless you never want to get it out again. Thats what they use for bonded screens on moderns. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
