Windscreen seal leaking (1 Viewer)

Discovered a leak in the windscreen seal - Any ideas how I get this fixed?

There is a little tube of sealant for windows but it is very hit and miss as you lift the rubber and inject it.
I would be looking to a professional window fitting company and bite the bullet of having a new seal fitted? Depends on age of vehicle too.

At that age you could easily be chasing the leak around the window? My MH is 1999 and if ever the windscreen leaks I will be getting a new seal as they must surely perish or get brittle over time?

I was just about to add that there is no guarantee that the actaul leak is there - could be tracking round the seal. I think I am going to have to look at getting it removed and resealed. Problem is how woudl they get hold of a seal that fits or is there a generic seal that could be used?

It's an A Class though so will not be a standard windscreen I assume.

Do you have windscreen cover on your insurance? Get Autoglass to remove screen replace rubber and re insert original or new screen . ( just hit it with hammer and get new screen normally small excess)

I need to check this, along with the warranty that came with the van.

Be aware that removal of the windscreen will be at your own risk. So if they bust it it's get out the wallet time.

That’s why you hit it with a hammer first, then you only pay the excess ??
