Windscreen rust

[dom_e]

The dreaded tin worm has begun eating away around the windscreen along the sides. There's a gap between the metal and outer seal rubber and there are some holes in the rubber. It seems that water/dirt has collected and allowed it to fester and rust.

It's not too bad at the moment, but will need sorting. I know that a few others have had this issue tackled, but how was the outcome and at what cost?

It strikes me as a potentially expensive problem, but I'm hoping not! How many members has this issue effected?

Rust bubbling under windscreen caused mine to crack. Luckily Autoshield man didnt mind and fitted new screen under insurance. I had to grind out rust and weld in couple of fresh bits of steel. Apparently its quite common. Welding was easy enough, but made a mess of dashboard grinding old stuff out.

I thought that windscreen replacement cos. wouldn't replace windows with rust.

I had similar troubles recently - see here.

Thanks. I'd seen that thread before I noticed the prob with mine. Mine is nowhere near as bad, but It'd be good to 'nip in the bud'. Out of interest, what was a ball park figure for the work if you don't mind saying? Was the windscreen removed?

Thanks.
