screen leaks

[Neil]

this is a fault with lots of mk1 and2 so veiw it in the dry and the rain it may just be a poor rubber but it also could be rotten under the rubber

[john leeman]

I always fitted front screenrubber seals with the crome plastic strip inserted in the middle, a bugger to fit but fitted very tight and dry.

thats the one john my mk 1 has the strip in and its the only van ive had thats never leaked bad body jackin set them off leakin puttin pressure in the wrong places

Some of you may already know, but you can buy new screen rubbers from "East Kent Vintage Trim" in Deal. I've just bought one for my mk2 for about £30 including P&P. They sell a lot of other classic Ford rubbers and seals too. They advertise in "Classic Ford" magazine most months.

here is a special tip for you mk2 boys ,fit a mk1 rubber and no more leeks!

Be very, very careful when fitting a new rubber with an old screen, lost 2 screens doing this, I wouldn't do it again!

[Neil]

tried that mark no different im convinced that leaks are down to mechanics jackin and liftin the van incorrect and bouncein up and down kerbs anything like this makes the body twist and loosens seals

i am shocked i had a mk2 ambulance that had fish pond on the dash! went and got the mk1 rubber with crome insert and it never leaked after that! i also had a swb mk2 and done the same with that and it stopped it!
