kws Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I know the obvious answer is "replace the seal", which will happen, but is having a shitty windscreen seal on a 70s car with a non-bonded windscreen a WOF issue? The glass is secure, but the previous owner replaced the seal with a shite generic one and there are gaps in the corner instead of it being a one piece seal The VIRM only really seems to indicate it should be "strong and securely affixed to the vehicle", which is is, because it ain't gonna fall out.

Raizer Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Is the glass cracked badly in drivers field of view or barely held in with masking tape? No? It's fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
