Windscreen leak

car shops sell a special mastic just for that job, seems to work fine on my old camper van.

Would depend on what type of fitment the screen is, how old etc. Rubber seal you may get away with a mastic screen filler that stays soft.

R&R screen is the best way by someone who knows. Them you can check for rust underneath and have that repaired as well.

Tried everything on the bonded in screen on my SD1 with no success - including those much hyped creeping leak cures. Removing and replacing sorted it.

Autoglass fitted a new rear screen which is the older method with a fitted rubber seal - that leaked too. They tried to 'seal' it - but eventually had to remove it and do it again properly - this time with sealer applied to the rubber, instead of dry.

In both cases there was no rust on the body.

the bonded screen on the sd1 was always problematic, when they were used for rallying it was standard procedure to add metal clip bits around the screen to stop it flying out.

Thanks for your suggestions here.

I put some wide black PVC tape between the bottom of my Focus windscreen and the cabin filter cover.

I achieve the same result by fitting the cover correctly ;-)
