Is there any way of fixing the top end without drilling holes in the window
frame - I just don't like the idea of allowing moisture to find its way down
to the bulkhead no matter how carefully you seal them

Water getting in here is only getting into the window frame not the gutter
(assuming you are talking Series/90/110/Defender) - which will rust just as
well but is a LOT easier to replace.

If you don't drill into the windscreen frame it will rust anyway, so
might as well just drill the bastard!

Could be an opportunity ( I mean this most sincerely friends) to inject the
frame with waxoyl- that should keep the demons at bay for a bit longer

Have I missed something ????

You're about to fit a snorkel, assumedly so you can bury your landy in some
local quagmire or river and you are worried about a bit of moisture getting
in the bulkhead PMSL.

Small point, but if you strip out *everything* in the original post before
you reply, it makes it rather hard to see what you are on about.

The only constructive thing I could have written has alrady been written,
I think it was something along the lines of, "drill it and bladdy get on
with driving it, it'll rust anyway".
I was just amusing myself more than anything with the reply.
