Has anyone ever had water leakage from the front windshield? It just started snowing today up in the mountains and I left my 96 disco for 30 mins in the snow. When I drove back onto the highway and the snow started to melt, water started to drip down the top driver corner windshield as I cursed the LR quality control guys YET again... is this normal aging of the seal? or as one of my friend suggested maybe the frame flexed the windshield on my offroad trips (I would hardly call it real offroading, just old forest maintainance roads with some occasional ditches)
now I'm wondering if I need to bring it to a body shop for fixing if it's not just a windshield seal thing... |

Mine does it occasionally, carefully pull up the rubber trim on the outside and silicone it, and tell your friend offroading didn't cause the frame to flex the windshield -jeeez |

I find that most of my windshield leaks seem to be the result of getting to close whith the preasure washer when I'm washing it off.
Also, I would only re-seal the part that is actually leaking as I think they really use something better than whatever silicone you get. I could be wrong though. |
