I was just ripped off by sevenhundredandsomething Dollars to fix rust under the windscreen rubber - had to get a new screen too - but the rain still gets sucked in down the air vent mesh and over the dashboard! Any wizzard out there knows more than me - please give me advice . . . Ame from Australia |

I just spent about threehundredandsomething Dollars to get an electronic ignition fitted - in the upper revs it works brilliant, but start-up and climbing the hill in the morning is a real worry! Should I put the points back in? Any wizzard out there that knows more than me and would like to share his wisdom with me . . . Ame from Australia |

Are you sure it is coming in through the vent flap? If so a new seal or carefully bending it so it closes tight will probably work, but I reckon you want wiper spindles instead. As for the electronic ignition, have you just fitted it and left it? Or have you used a strobe to tune it? If its really gutless it probably isn't advanced enough. |

I think you should stop using this garage! With your vent flap, I removed mine and refitted t with plenty of sealant between the rubber and the body. New wiper spindles too - but maybe have a go yourself and save some $$$! |

nonono - the water is coming from above the vent flap - the square tube just underneath the windscreen is getting wet on top! |

If it's not coming in through the vent flap, and it's not coming in through the wiper spindles, it must be coming in through the screen rubber or surround, which I don't think it is. If that's what's happening, go back to whoever did the welding and fitted the screen and tell them to sort this shit out, because they've not done a very good job. |

Did they re-use the old rubber? It might be hardened in time and not form it's self well to the shape of the windowbay. |
