Dukey 1 Posted February 17, 2016 Arrrgggghhh. I've pretty much had it with the thing, it's a leaky sieve. Boot leaks, doors leak and the rear windows leak massively, it's pooling inside the panel. I've already had them cut and welded once where it rusted through. I've tried splicing in 2" of extra seal - it's better but it's still dire. Can i fit fixed ones? At this point I'm close to either scrapping it out of frustration or running a ridiculous bead of tiger seal round every orifice. On top of this it looks like the heater matrix has gone, taking out the radio - i noticed because i could hear the rear speakers crackling with the ignition off! This pug just wants to kill itself in a miserable, slow watery death. /rant Sorry I'm half venting hear bloody weather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dukey 1 Posted February 17, 2016 Edit, to be clear, it's my gti thats got the slightly openable rear windows - which are nifty but I'm willing to get rid for some sanity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dukey 1 Posted February 17, 2016 Cheers, I've had a beer now and ordered some fixed ones. Thanks for the heads up with the scrappy one - but I've got a broken arm atm! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dukey 1 Posted February 18, 2016 Cheers Tom, I'll see how I go! And wes, at this point I'd be willing to weld in some sheet steel if it stopped the leaks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dukey 1 Posted February 21, 2016 damn. Well these aren't tinted but I'll give them a go this week hopefully. If not I'm welding some metal in Can you seal the fixed ones with silicone? I'll go in dry first.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
