Let me know how Speedy does? I pulled back the carpet last night - went out with some talcum powder, and found the bugger on the driver's side - doesn't seem big enough to be the culprit but guess it accumulates with not much place to go. Coming down to the left of the steering column right against the wall so have to think its windscreen. Smaller leak on passenger side still not 100% identified - but just taking one a time.

Coaxial - let me know how the Speedy windscreen sealing goes for you - I'll likely be getting this done on the weekend. I'm fighting the urge to cut the carpet right out (I know I'll regret it).

The quarter panel re-sealing fixed the majority of my leak. Passenger side is 100% dry.
Driver's side is improved greatly but still wet. I traced it to a leak coming down behind the dashboard and draining down behind the steering column to pool in the driver's side footwell.
The Speedy Glass staff advised that it may or may not be the rubber windshield seal. They recommended testing by stuffing paper towel down in the gap in between he windshield and the dash (tight fit, but can be done) and see if any moisture is there (during a downpour of course). If yes, then it's the rubber seal. If no, then it's another body panel leak somewhere / somehow.

I've got non-functioning windshield washer fluid problem as well (motor is spinning / tank is full / nothing coming out) - so will likely have to pull dash apart to fix at sometime anyway. Will do major testing at that point.

Also - Speedy advised that they could easily cut out the rubber seal and thought they could get replacement no problem if needed, but didn't have an idea for Glass itself in case they damaged it during removal.

I know CCAUTO in Coombs has old and new glass - anyone know of Windshield glass available in Vancouver area?

I know it's only a temp fix, but on my van I carefully fold open the top edge of the window seal, squirting in some clear silicone sealant. This and the seam fix took my Deli from puddles at my feet to dusty dry.

All the miles I put on toruing this year have given me some nice cracks in my glass that can't be filled. Japanoid in new West has new and used - http://www.buysell.com/classifieds/Resu ... elica.html

Check out the $17,000 Delica!! (Must be cause of the color combo :wink: , to be honest I would sell mine; same color, less miles, WVO converted for that).

Tks. Have done lots of biz with Dean & Shogo as did the previous owner of my Deli.
Will do the windshield test first - then make a further decision how to go.
Must appreciated for input.
