Brave, haha still brown pants when its your own vehicle. I am a welder/fabricator by trade even tho I haven't been in the trade for over 20years but i still have the confidence to undertake these jobs that need to be done. Unfortunately the longer you leave the rust the worse it gets, so I will also be going round the whole van sorting every little stone chip as well. Start with a small panel and see how you get on. Its all about preparation so take your time and don't rush, a few days of prep for an hour of spraying, can feel like no progress when prepping but def worth taking your time. Results speak for themselves.
Really good video. I have bought a T4 with a windscreen leak. Not too bad but wanted to see what was involved. May get someone to tackle it. Has been resprayed with no bubbling. Hoping its not too bad 🤞🏼
Thank you, it could be just a badly fitted windscreen, I know of a few vans that have had to have the windscreen removed just to be sealed in again because it leaked
@@TwiggsT4 Yeah cool. I may do the insurance route like you. Mine has a chip on drivers vision so it maybe better to pay that. Been quoted £150 to take out the existing and reseal but that does not include rust treatment. Is it easy enough to put the rubber seal back on? At least that way I can see what I'm up against.
@jimkennedy7784 usually the rubber seal is fitted to the windscreen then the windscreen installed, the bonding sealer usually squeezes out and also seals in the rubber seal along with the windscreen so taking it off and refitting it may not be possible.
Does the seal around the glass need to go on before it's bonded in or afterwards? I've got a screen to change on mine after a truck threw a stone at mine in Cornwall 🤬
Good effort dude. It’s a shame the original sealer follows the roof line and seems to miss the actual joint in the panels right where it meets the screen.
Unfortunately it was a stone chip which caused the rust and the surface rust spread under the sealant, as soon as i started to sand the rust bubbles the sealer had lifted from the metal. Yeah the sealer is so thin from factory they should of made it slightly wider.
I love the shagging Pigeons in the back garden!
Good work. Thank you.
haha i forgot about them pigeons 🤣
nice project. the van is looking awesome.
You’re real brave!! Though you’re making me think I could my own repairs!! Thanks a million for doing these videos

@@TwiggsT4 thanks 😉🍻
Great work,Is the outer windscreen seal reusable ? i was thinking i would like to try the Lanoguard grease under the seal.

1:38 Don't be so hard on yourself, there are a lot of "shit builders" around I'm sure a lot are worse than you.
