Post Re: rebuild help
another question i got...

i was talking with matt the other day, and he was saying that in the 50's, 2cv's had drains from the windscreen seal out the side of the car, as they new it was going to leak so they put a pipe to drain it, and on the modern (well newer) 2cv's they dont have that, has anyone come up or replicated this idea, as my car actually leaks in through the window seal i found, and its very rust where it does so... at least the water isnt sitting there permenantly i geuss... bit its prety damn rusty :(

well it probably was sitting there for a while if it is very rusty. new metal is the only way to effectively stop it im afraid!

I'd go for an SLC any day of the week (or an original spec one from ECAS). SLC is "Ken", who posts here regularly.
