OCD'ers beware - this is advanced warning not to read on!
As promised this is the start of my windscreen scuttle repair thread. It all started last week when I had something hit the windscreen resulting in a crack.
National windscreens are doing the screen fitting via Insurance and came round this morning to remove the old glass.
I was aware of rust in the corners and expected more besides. Here's what I found.
First picture, showing relatively nice looking scuttle panel, outer seal removed.
Second and third pictures: screen removed showing the extent of the rust as expected.
Forth picture is the problem as you can see where the glue was missed or there was a bubble or open cavity in the glue it has rusted. There was several of these along the bottom edge. So sorry guys this is clearly a factory install issue and it goes unseen until you remove the screen.
Now next post will be the rust removal and welding! I had to do so I shall keep you in suspense until then...
