Windscreen advice required

[robemcdonald]

I have a 2007 Boxster.

Recently I started to get some creaking from the top of the passenger side of the windscreen.

It looks as though the seal / gasket is popping out too.



I assume the bond between the windscreen and frame is failing and that I’m a pothole away from a big crack.

What can I do?

Is it a new screen or can the existing (undamaged) screen be removed and reinstalled?

What sort of cost am I looking at?

TIA

The seals do come away, might just need bonding back in.

Are you getting any water ingress? In my own experience, the first sign of the bonding failing (in a Mercedes) was a leak.

Might the creak be a top mount or coffin arm ball joint?

Hopefully Glassman will be along to advise. If you're in his catchment, I'd highly recommend Paul's services.

Maybe I am view it wrong, but it looks like a gasket the hides the glued edges of the wind screen. The bonding is under the glass. I would replace the gasket as it looks distorted.

Fingers crossed
