Rover windscreen come unstuck!

The message from Rhydian contains these words:

Windscreen mastic is black and remarkably like bathroom sealant - though a bit less rubbery.

Ring around your local windscreen places - there are some independant ones. They're often difficult to remove without breaking but it can be done and remember that that glue and glass is part of the roll structure of the car.

If it's not fitting right it could be a sign of previous accident damage...

Do you have windscreen cover on your insurance?

If so, then I'd suggest that you should be able to have it replaced for just the excess.

Or - more likely - a badly replaced windscreen.

Umm, Steve...

Ooops, yeah. Should have waited until I was completely awake before posting.

Dunno. Earlier SD1s and Maestros were notorious for the 'glue' failing and leaking. Present day replacement involves a different 'glue' - probably the same as all other cars?

A man once told me: Make sure you've got cover, spring loaded centrepunch looks just like a pebble has hit your windscreen
