D22 top windscreen rubber.

[tony d22]

Hi all
The top windscreen rubber on my D22 is shrinking.
So much so that water getsin if I park nose down on a steep slope.
It has shrunk a good 12mm on the drivers side.
Has anyone else had this issue and how did you get it fixed?
Did you get a windscreen mob to replace it?

I have tried to get it out but is near impossible.
At the moment I have some black electrical tape sealing it up.

isn,t your windscreen held in by a tar substance not rubbers like the old 70,s vehicles. i think the rubber is only cosmetic .

I would suggest you use sikaflex or a cheaper one like this

Make sure you get the black colour one. I had a missing "joint" around the driver window trim seal. I filled it up with this. Been there 3 months and working perfectly.

I've got a similar problem with the bottom rubber which has gone brittle and won't stay in.
Went to windscreens O'brien and they said to just cut out the section and seal it with silastic.

Not sure, haven't ripped the screen out yet.
Once I taped the gap up it stopped leaking so it must be the rubber strip.
I posted a thread a while back about moisture under the passenger's floor mat and this was the cause.
