Hi all,

 

After I bought my old lady a couple of weeks ago I need to comfort her.
After 20 years of duty she lost many good friends.
After around 2000km the last month, the first time in "heavy" rainy weather I felt her tears
dropping in my left shoe.

 

 

My last Felicia has the same issue.

 

 

The problem is at the left and right side.
Is there a "standard", "weak",  "rubber" problem in an old  Felicia which is a well known issue, to look after,  to keep my feets dry?

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

It is a bad windscreen seal and corrosion underneath.

Hi Ricardo,

 

Today I removed the window wipers and the plastic cover and  had a look at the windscreen seal.

I can't see any corrosion underneath but it looks like there are small gaps at the left and right bottom corners of the seal and the body.

It simply doesn't seal anymore underneath and reached the end of life cycle.

First a try with silicone otherwise a new seal.... 

 

Thanks.

My old lady 20 years old 1.3 Felicia had the same problem many many years ago and I used this http://www.captaintolley.com/  guess what it worked even after so many years I have a dry car and boy can it rain in the UK  

 

I have to give it 10 out of 10.

Hi Mike,

 

"Funny" video, good reviews and I love the story behind.

I am in doubt of the "hairline cracks" but I am going to give it a try.

Thanks for the tip. Just ordered.

Let's go for Peter ‘Tolley’ Jordan........ 😄

 

Will post the result back.

Quality new seals are like hen's teeth. Existing ones on the market are mostly rubbish Chinese parts.

If you don't want to spend to much on it, you can try to apply "boat silicone", it still works with mine.
