Driving SWIMBO's Punto this morning, there is a bang from the boot every time I go over a bump. Stopped as I thought the boot was open.

Turns out the rear window has come loose from the hatch. It's a frameless / bonded window and about 50% of the seal has gone. Everytime someone shuts the door, the top corner of the glass pops up!

I'd normally have a go at fixing it myself, but it'll be tomorrow before I can get a tube of sikaflex. Then there will be the job of breaking the rest of the sealant, removing the old stuff, getting the gaps right, not sealing the boot shut...

Anyway, time to get a man in!

Wasn't this an unofficial recall?.
Seem to remember doing loads of front and rear rebonds about 6 years ago.

And various water leaks.

All fixed. £38.

Bargain.

Turns out the glass fitter has done two other Punto's this weekend with the same fault.
