 Re: water
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.

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

 Re: water
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.....

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

 Re: water
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.

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