General Loose Rear Screen Glass . . .

[BikeDoc]

Not a huge problem, just interested in whether anyone else has had this?

My rear Screen had a leak not long after I bought the Multi' (bought Oct '10, leak in Jan '11), when it rained, some water drops would run down the inside of the screen, easily cured by sealing the external gap between the top of the Screen and the Tailgate.

A couple of days ago, I started to get a sharp 'Clack' sound when shutting the Tailgate, which I assumed was the interior trim at first, but when checked it wasn't loose.
After a bit of 'probing', I found that the lower-R/H edge of the Screen is loose, when pressed from the outside, it moves approx 2mm.

Will pop the trim off soon and reseal it.
I'm guessing it's been caused by my Son slamming the Tailgate shut and catching the Glass on his Bike Handgrip . . .

Hi, Bonne fetes.
Our 2005 is doing the same clack when we shut the tailgate also.
The glass is loose, so I was going to get a tube of silicone to re-seal it hoping that it wouldnt fall off.
Whether this is the way forward I am not sure, but if its loose at the top I think it will have to come off and be re-fitted properly with a windscreen kit obtainable from a motor factor.
Anyone else?
Thanks Barry

I would think some clear Silicone Sealant would be more than strong enough.
Just ask anyone that's tried to disassemble a Glass Fish Tank!

Take all the Trim off, then run a good thick bead all the way round.
