Post Keeping water out
We all know that water can drip on the dash and some of the water is coming through the wiper spindles.

Here is a way to eliminate water by fitting old dust caps from the wheel brake cylinders.

nice idea! I've seen the red Grolsch bottle top seals used for the same purpose.

I hope it works, our 2cv doesn't drip water after fitting the dust covers. Are yours the right way or should they turn around?

well there mini ones so there abit bigger and when i put them on like normal they didn't hold down so i had to stretch them over the bolt that hold the arm down, so they snug much better :D

but as you can see from the paint work the rain may be getting in through some of the rust :?
