I've been having a problem wit water leaking from the sides of my windscreen for quite sometime redi. But happens very rarely. But a leak nonetheless. :( also got wind sounds when driving about 120km/h.
Well i'm about to send my car for painting. Was wondering...
1. Need to change the windscreen side rubber only?
2. Need to change windscreen as well if doing this?
3. How much is a ae101 seg windscreen?
4. Is it the best time to do this or can i still do it after painting? (Panting priority coz recently got minor acc in front :()
Pls help me out on this one guys. Thanks a lot in advance.
 
bro. Mungkin ada karat pada bingkai yang memegang cermin tu. Kereta i pun pernah air masuk selepas i tukar cermin akibat pecah. So, kena buka semula cermin tu. 2 kali kerja.
 
i'm oso facing the same problem with u bro. now at paint shop. im just change new windscreen rubber and silicon. about the price still dont know because im just leave everything to them. just pay when finish:smokin:
 
:listen:beware from asid silicon which is can make ur car rusting. some windscreen shop use cheap silicon.
 
Installing windscreens are much easier than removing it. EDRA, which brand is the best silicon? SIKAFLEX is the most common available in spare part shops.... any other better ones? What do you think of the silicon that comes in roll form?

Happened to me before. Screen cracked, changed new screen, water comes in from side due to poor installation. how to solve??

Remove your screen first.
1. yes, recommended. buy new & ori. dun get hafcut. probably cost u around rm80-100 each side.
2. no need. u can maintain current screen.since your screen sits correctly, but with gaps, tis is becoz rubber hardened, or rust.
3. tis one u can get at chopshop...maybe around 600. (tampered). cheaper solution is half the price, but screen is single layer. one rock hit the right spot & you'll get spiderweb. Tampered glass will only got a cracked line.
4. Of coz do this BEFORE painting. removed the screen & probably you see some rust. rust removal will possibly cause scratching and current paint touch up.

Well i guess i have to remove the screen and check only then can really judge what to do la.
Must have faith in mech hopefully glass doesn't crack during removing. Is that possible?

AE92 is separate. AE1x1 not sure.

Highly unlikely. Those specialist would have proper tools. If really crack while removing, that is a great blunder and you can ask for replacement -FOC-.
 
My windscreen also leaking right above the steering. Went back to the same shop and they just touch up some glue onto the leaky area. This shop is located near the Seri Kembangan Bomba roundabout.

So how do I go about changing the windscreen rubber for AE80? Its like some sort of metal plate, no rubber at the front.
 
sorrylah bro i forgot the brand. but u can smell it. if masam that one ada asid.
 
Brother double check the antena, water maybe leak from there due to gasget hardening.
