Leaky windscreen???

Recommended Posts

In June, Autoglass replaced my extremely cracked windscreen with a brand-spanker. I was told to take the car to them (rather than have the mobile call-out) as "Corrado windscreend are really difficult to do". After 3 hours, I picked the car up and drove home... this is when the rubber trim peeled itself off the outside of the screen.

 

I took the car back and they refitted the trim (lots of sealant all over the bodywork / door handles etc.) All was well for a couple of months until it got a bit colder and wetter. I began to suffer from a patch of condensation appearing near the tax disc holder that I couldn't shift.

 

I took the car back claiming an incorrectly fitted screen, which to their credit they removed and refitted free of charge. A couple more months down the line, I've still got the patch appearing.

 

I had another glazing company take a look at it and on removing the interior trim from the passenger side, the insode of the pillar (behind the trim) is really damp with condensation. The guy from AC glazing said the screen looked to be fitted ok and that the condensation seems to be coming from the dampness in the pillar rather than a leaking windscreen.

 

I can't seem to shift the condensation patch and don't really know what to do next. Could it be a sunroof drain that's split or blocked, causing the dampness? Any help greatfully received!

 

Ta.
