Rain water coming from the front windscreen, etc - any tip to stop it while waiting for repairing, whatever is wrong?
Thanks!

Tape is OK but I was thinking of sth like a plastic gutter to make water slide to somewhere far away from my legs, especially the right one. ;)

And, will it be easy to remove it in summer, or will it act like a glue?

Or use clear silicon bathroom sealant - that tends to unpick easily. Use a relatively small nozzle aperture and lift the windscreen seal on outside and run around the seal et voila! Dry feet again.....

Some silicone sealants (including most bathroom sealants) will eat through the paint.

You have a special car window kit that stays soft. Are you sure it is coming from the windscreen and not from the air vent.

Tbh - if it's leaking around the windscreen probably means the rust worm has already got at it so losing a little paint isn't going to make much difference.......I've not seen any issue with paint loss when I've used silicon sealant but then mines a shed and not concours.

I guess the leaking must come from both ;)
I'll try the bath sealant.
Thanks :)
