Well i couldnt put it off any longer, surround removed and windscreen.
The outside seal was hard and didnt fit like iv seen other 5's so looks like its just been holding water from a previous windscreen repair. I removed a windsceen from a scrap 5 i have here, still had oe screen fitted. a pillars are fine but bottom is rotted on that. Shows if fitted correctly they last a while.
Is this something that will be easily reapired by someone with the knowledge? I was going to cut the a pillars from the donor shell to use? But what about the bottom, any advice welcome
