[Browsing210]

Hi...New to you all so hello.... have a bit of a problem..my lovely stilo is leaking!! Think windscreen problem..could be that a replacement (before my purchase) that has not been done correctly or missing a seal??? Bit concerned as dont have one around front windscreen but dont know if thats right!!!! Of course hadnt realised problem until this morning when the rain started!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! :worship:

They are glued (bonded) in so no seal. Could have not been done properly. The glue has to be the right amount and spread evenly around the edge to make a seal. Too much and it squeezes out, too little and you get leaks. Also, I have seen people forget to put the primer on first, then the glue doesn't stick properly.
All windscreen replacement companies offer a guarantee. Get it checked/ rectified by them if it has not been done right.

this happened to me recently. it looked wet around the right hand side of the screen, but actually it was a blocked drain channel in the skyport area. worth a look (if you have one)

if you need a windscreen replacing, loan me your car, the local wildlife round here scratched my other then i tw@tted an owl which put a hole, star crack and 2ft crack into the screen. I was doing 60mph+ tho!
