Mine pishes in water on the gsi mate, I'd advise using a bead of windscreen sealant too.

Mine actually leaks between the seal and the glass not the seal and body :(

I bought the screen & seal from autoglaze in kilmarnock a couple of years back,i know the boys in there & could find out if they can still get them if you want.

Is this a eBay 1?

Duno but it's pish, looks fairly recent but it's not a new windscreen

I soaked my standard one in white spirit overnight which got rid of all the factory sealant and left it like new.

You need deep pockets for a genuine one. They are a couple of new ones in Europe but they are big money, way over 100 Euros.
I bought a couple of non genuine ones of a window guy that comes into work and they look fine. Hard to tell the difference between gen and non-gen and they probably came out of the same factory.

I got a pattern one fitted, no problems, but it's never got wet lol

Is there any more available rich from the guy you got the copies from ?

[Edd]

I have a new seal that I would sell mate, drop me a pm if your interested

I rang around the local windscreen places and managed to find a guy who could get one, prob not gen but fitted fine and doesn't leak. I bought sealant but didn't use it and all fine 2 years on. Can't remember the company though. met him in a pub car park too, felt like a drug deal!

sorry to go off topic for a mo simontw, but you reminded me of an old mate of mine, who when drunk would sing 'nights in white spirit' on karaoke

i got a non gen one off a windscreen company when i had a screen fitted, cost £19 iirc.

Took the last couple he had. They were £15 each
