Leaking windscreen
I seem to be getting water coming in when it rains either through the windscreen or I think more worryingly through the neoprene/rubber gasket below the windscreen. It's a 2007 model 130. Anyone had any experience of this?

Thanks,

Ivan

Yeah man, this is an issue here too, but only if I park with the right side lower than left.

Obvious solution is obvious Laughing

Will sort proper if/when I repaint vehicle and install roll cage. Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

I ran a bead of Sikaflex along the foam seal and a bit behind the windscreen blocks for good measure. Don't use silicon because its a nightmare to paint over. That stopped most of it but discovered the windscreen seal itself was leaking, a small bottle of Captain Tolley's sorted it. It was a welcome fix having been driving in wellies previously Mr. Green

Dirt build up on the lower edge of the windscreen seal causes this leaking too, the dirt acts as a wick.
