I was driving home the other night in my BT7 when it started to
rain.nothing much, a heavy drizzle.
No great worries..I try to avoid rain, but it's more or less inevitable in
SW UK.
But what was irritating was that it started to leak after about 10 minutes.
Not a lot, but it would probably have been much worse if the rain had been
much heavier.
It was only in one spot.running down the windscreen right in my direct line
of sight. Typical.
I'm sure this is a regular occurrence; they were probably issued with leaks
at the factory.
How have you guys fixed(?) this? I thought that I had..I cut up an old inner
tube and stuck that to the mating surface of the bow. Now I wonder whether I
should put another piece in where it leaked or would that create a little
raised section and that it would now leak on either side of that..?
In the past, anticipating a long drive in the rain, I've taped it up. Works
a treat.
Thanks,
Simon
