Windshield leak 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Secluno on  Wed Feb 1 10:24 CST 2017 [RELATED]

I just got a 65 122s. It has chrome trim on the rear glass but not on the front. There is a small leak apparently from the front glass drivers side. I assume there was chrome originally. I want to fix it and replace the chrome. Any sources for rubber and chrome? Did Volvo ever make models with no chrome on the front if it was on the rear?

    I think most drivers side rust is caused by brake fluid 120-130

    I think most drivers floor rust is caused by brake fluid eating off all the paint.

    Volvo did make a lower budget 122 they called a "Favorit" and it didn't come with front or rear windshield trims and the rubber seals are different than the ones with windshield trims.

    All versions of the rubber and the trims are available.

    You greatest concern should be the water leaks as older Volvos are prone to floor rust and if you have to pay someone to repair or replace the floor pans, it can get expensive.

    2 years ago we replaced all 4 floor pans and repaired rust in the interior rocker and kick panels and that cost the customer over $6000.00 for parts and labor on a 1966 122.

      To add to Erik's post, the windscreen leak is almost certainly down to the flange, that's used to seat the windscreen seal, rusting out in the corners. If caught early a repair is not too difficult. Any repair, after final fishing, needs to be as close as possible the same as the original in looks and dimensions. Any short cuts here will compromise how a new rubber fits and seals You won't know how bad it is until you remove the screen and rubber. Look up under the dash in the corners. Rusty water trails will confirm the problem but not its severity. The anodised aluminum trims are cosmetic and do not improve the seal.

        Thanks for the advice. I found rubber seal and trim at vintageimportparts. Do you know of other parts sources?
