G'day guys, selling my L series to grab a mates car that has come up for a good price, the car is in good nick overall but the previous owner failed to disclose a few things to me, all of which have been rectified, except the wet spot on the steering wheel from a leak on the windscreen.
I would like to fix the prob before passing the car on to the next owner,
my question is, can i pull the black rubber out that sits around the face of the window to seal up the window then put it back on or is it a window out job, i have done a few windows before but only on suzuki's which are rubber all the way round, not sure bout scoobies.

cheers mick

these are bonded jobbies on the L Series and if it is the seal leaking up there not likely rust looks like a window guy is needed for remove and refit with new seal and warranty
I have tried silicone to seal same sort of leak in another car and leaked worse. Silicone does not always seal these spots when the wind blows

hey mate, ive used silicon, works a treat, u just need be extremely thorough and get every spot.

Try Sikaflex. My mate fits widscreens and thats what he uses. Works better than silicone as it always stays flexible.
