[baja9007]

i have changed my Lj front windscreen but it is spelling a Huge amount of water inside the cabin when it rains ...so i applied silicon to the rubber but still the seepage is there and i have no idea what to do with it........water can be seen at the bottom rubber ends
so what should i do now.....my mechanic have told me that most of the LJ 78 have the same problem when we change its windscreen
any other suggestions LJ owners where are you?????

reuse......

reuse......

I used to have same problem. My panel worker helped me to seal up by applying silicon at the bottom of the rubber(outside of the windscreen not inside) . No more seepage since then.

Did you tuck the interior lining around the seal to far?
If you do it can act like a wick and pull water thru from outside.

I suffer the same problem...

... the best option is to change the rubber

There is another forum with the wet floor problem and it has pages of 70 owners complaining about the leak , and it's not just the fold down window mob .
There is said to be a join between the fire wall and guards were water traps and leaks in ?but not to sure how.

My wet floor problem went when I had my front window replaced and requested and new front rubber as well , dry floors so far this winter. Which is good as wet fuses suck.
