Is there a solution to the leaky dolomite windscreen issue?<br>
I removed my driver's side carpet the other day and it was sodden!<br>
<br>
Went down to the car this morning too find where the carpet would normally be was a moat in driver's footwell!<br>
<br>
My windscreen seal looks to be in good nick - no cracks.<br>

An easy fix is to move to Sydney. We never seem to have any rain so it does not matter that your windscreen leaks. They don't like us using water to wash the car so you don't need to worry about having a leaky windsreen. As 95% of NSW is drought declared and Sydney dams are now down to 35% capacity maybe you should fill the car with water and head north and sell it.<br>

If the windscreen seal is still reasonably soft, buy some windscreen sealer and pump in around the seal or alternately replace the windscreen rubber. Yes we do have them in stock.

Coat all round the windscreen (Inside car) and surrounding area's with talcum powder,<br>
Give car a spray of water from a garden hose (As long as your not in a Hose pipe Ban)Then just look to see where the talc has been washed away from.<br>

leaky windows
Have you checked the wiper spindles ? The water leaks into the box section at the base of the windscreen, then runs along to the ends and out of the drain holes into your footwells.

Re: leaky windows
Yes it certainly does and then rots it from the inside out, this I have recently found out.
