Having had the front screen replaced the car started to leak rain water into the passenger footwell (very slightly. The dealer checked it out and said it must be the screen the screen. Auto windscreens collected the car and took it to their Taunton branch (50 miles away) for testing. It passed the pressure test but they removed the screen and re-set it. The following water test allowed water to p**s into the car. 'It must be the body work itself' Auto windscreens advised so back to the dealer I went. They checked again and found that the plastic fixings at the bottom of the screan (under the wiper valance) penetrate right into the body work - infact the hole goes all the way down to the heater - had been broken when the screen was removed. So if your screen goes beware of how it is replaced.
