 |
|
| Hey all just wondering have easy or hard it is to remove the trim beneath the rear windscreen on an EL Fairmont. The reason I wont to do this is my boot is leaking, it leaks a little in both corners near the rubber and i belive the water is getting it from under the rear windscreen, its only a tiny leak but over time its alot of water. Was goin to full off the trim but not sure how to do it or if i should. |

| EFs and ELs were renowned for boot leaks. I dont know if your windsreen seal will fix it. Get a new boot seal and im sure there is another fix somewhere here on the forums. |

| The rubber is moulded to the screen and doesn't come apart, you will probably have to cut the screen out. |

Similar problem with upper part of my front windscreen - leaking water and made my roof lining sagged very badly. I tried fixing myself but end up making it worst. I went to windscreen specialist and he replaced top rubbers seals and re-sealed with something like plastic cement (black). You'll be amased how much sealant it will take which is a proof that they were insuffiently sealed at factory. |
