Dreaded T4 Leaking Windscreen

[ArcticMatt]

I thought I'd post this on here as a reminder its good to check under the windscreen trim

Last month I found the carpets were sodden on the left side under the pedals. I know this is a common issue on T4s as it happened on my Syncro exactly the same back in the UK. I hoped this van wouldn't be as bad with the roof protecting the seal but it's gone in the same way. What's worse, it looks like it's been doing it for a while! Check out the rot down in the corner!

It comes in under the seal at the top corner where the panel seam seal meets the rubber screen seal and lets water in. It has come all the way down the inside and rotted from the inside out!

You can see here looking up. The water comes in the gap where the corrosion starts.

It's going to mean the screen coming out treating the rust. Maybe even a spot of welding too! Wish me luck.

Oooh nasty! I did all of mine back in the summer.
I noticed the beginnings of a bubble at the top of the screen so I pulled all of the seal out. All was ok if a little damp. I treated it all and filled it with Waxoil before replacing the seal.

I never thought to pull out the A pillar trims to check inside.

Good luck and keep us posted.
