Post rain leak check

Post by Santa79 »

So after the rain we've had up here in Lincs over the last couple of days, I thought I'd have a look around the new Gipsy to see if it's actually watertight...

It turns out that I have the dreaded windscreen leak on the driver's side. The footwell is bloody full of water! At least that appears to be the only leak so far (there was definitely another leak coming from the to window at the front, but that's still very dry at the moment).

So, my question is... Does anyone know someone in the Lincolnshire area that knows what they are doing with a welder and is adept at these sort of fixes? I'm a Lecky by trade so this isn't quite my forte and I'd rather it get fixed once and once only!!

Thanks.
