paint cracking help pls

[sparks 0]

hi boys and girls

ive got a werid one and like advice

 

while looking at the C yesterday i notice that in the scuttle panel where the ecu and wiper motor is that the paint on the bottom which looks very thick there has cracked and im guessing letting in water underneath

 

questions

1, will this let water into the car ?as im getting very bad mist up on windscreen

2, is it terminal and will it just rust away now

3, swg full scuttle panel and loads of wd40 sprayed in the cracks is that a fix

4, nothing to worry about all Cs do this

 

cheers

stu ..

2 - unless resprayed. Water ingress is likely to be coming through the seal at the bottom of the cabin filter

Hi,

 

I have exactly the same issue with my C, huge paint crack at the back, where scuttle cover would be.

 

Mine doesn't leak, I'm going to take the paint off this summer see if any damage lurks! (ie tin worm)

I don't think it's anything to worry about, from my cars it's just sound deadening over-sprayed at the factory that has dried out and shrunk.

Without a picture I can't say for sure but a poke around with a screwdriver will tell how deap it is,

best to do something once the weather is better,

There's a sealant/adhesive called Tiger seal, sticks like **** to a blanket!!! can be a corrado owners best friend,
