Freelander 1 Windscreen leak

hi

my windscreen is leaking on the top. it leaks behind the rear view mirror on the top. i thought i could fix it by applying silicone sealant.
i am bit reluctant to remove the trim from outside.. can i just pull it out and apply the sealant and let it dry and refix it?

thanks

Has it had a replacement screen?
It's unusual for a factory screen to leak.
Are you sure it's the screen and not the aerial mount?

Not sure if it had a replacement screen as i am the second owner.
i checked the aerial base by pulling out the lamp and its base, i cant see the water running through inside.. i can see the water dripping exactly at the seal inside.

my radio has gone cranky on its volume control because of the water keeps dripping on the central console whenever it is raining..

It is possible to seal the screen. But simply squirting silicone under the seal is unlikely to work effectively.
The best thing to do is remove the trim. Clean the area below the trim thoroughly. Then apply a bead of silicone along the whole top of the screen. Once sealed, refit the trim.

thank you. if i have to take the trim, that means the whole trim on all sides, right?

why not take it to a windscreen specialist and they would do a proper job .

thanks .. i think this would be good idea. i will check my locals.
