 Re: water EirikJ wrote: When mounting the went flap, make sure to bend it slightly.(but don't overdo it) When you close it, it is pulled shut in the middle. It is important that it has a curve, so that the ends are pressed against the body when shut. Before mounting, lay it flat on a table or something, if the "outside" is facing up, then the middle part of the flap should not touch the table, but it should be resting on the ends/edges. Thats exactly what I did with my "new" vent flap when I fitted it several years ago. I also wash under the flap where the rubber meets the paint and treat treat the wiper spindles & bonnet hinge to a dose of "spray on grease" occassionally. My 2CV does'nt leak either. T.

Re: water That bending thing is a great idea.
I put on a new flap, it did take a bit of effort to get it water right still - I never thought of the slight bend.
My wiper spindles are not too old but they do leak - I seem to have done a lot of miles in torrential rain though so I suppose they are just worn already.

Re: water And a long shot: Check out these factory holes!  Are you positive about your windscreen rubber?

Re: water I doubt they even think about it in the factory.
