279 | fishinfireman | Fix for leaking windshields | 1/6/2005 22:20:00 | |
This is how I fixed the leaking windshields on my 2002 2520. I hope someone can use it. There is a groove in the face of the moving part of the windshield. The face with the groove contacts the rubber sealing gasket but not with enough force to seal out the water. I bought some 1/4" ID latex rubber tubing and pushed it into the groove while squeezing the tubing flat. Once I worked it all the way around to where I started I cut the tubing to the right length and glued the ends together with super glue. My windshields have been leak free for almost 2 years now. You may be able to find a better type of tubing to use but this is what worked for me. I looked for black rubber tubing but I could not find it with thin enough walls to fit the groove. This tubing looks like surgical tubing to me but I found it in the local hardware store. You can glue the tubing into the groove but it is not really necessary. |
