And are all windscreen frames the same of recent times please ?
I am looking for a good one this sunday at the sort out
If you find a good one be sure to check that the gutter that runs under the windscreen is intact. It is made up from 3 sections (one long one and 2 end pieces) and the welds/joints on mine are leaking badly. When I say badly there is literally a stream of water running into the footwell 
This was only discovered after a complete roof off / frame off re-seal when the roll cage was fitted. Now it is nightmare job as the screen frame can't be removed without lifting the roof by an inch or so, the internal roll cage doesn't allow access to the roof bolts and in lifting it by any amount the (brand new & non-leaking) seals will need to be re-seated. Probably a 2-3 day job. And then it'll probably leak somewhere else 
Bear in mind this is a 10 year old 110 so it could happen to any of the newer bulkheads you see. Check and save yourself some grief. |
