During your rust repairs, are you doing anything to the drain holes at the bottom of the front and back windscreens ?

Because they have been a problem here in Australia.

It has been a very common problem.

Rust forms underneath and inside the panel. And you cannot just put windscreen sealant in there. That will hold in water and cause rust even more.
All older 504s here used to eventually develop rust holes at the bottom corners of the front windscreen and this weakens the pillars. Not good.

From my own experience, you can do 2 things :

1) Weld in some metal pipes to drain the water further away from where it usually goes. I used pieces of transmission pipe I found at the wreckers....they are steel and flared at one end. They were big because they came from a big car.

2) Renault 12s used to have no drain holes, but they did have a slot which the water could flow down, and then straight out the front......not inside. You could see it underneath the front windscreen rubber, but it was not very noticeable. Maybe you could create slots ?
I always thought this was a beter solution to the problem.

Either way, you really should squirt in some fish oil (or something similar) into the panel the water currently drains into.....there is always rust inside.

The back windscreen is the same, but not so bad.

I just need to take out the windscreens, surely there is a rush... We'll fix it ... thank you

[Beano]

Good luck taking out the front windscreen without breaking it........it is very easy to break.
I hope your friend has had experiencve doing this.

The rear windscreen is no problem as it is "safety glass". You get in the back seat, take off your shoes and push out with your feet, whilst using a screwdriver on the rubber.

Seriously....I've done it many times. And my local Peugeot mechanic taught me this. The rear screen is DIFFICULT to break !

Unless you drop it on concrete ...

[dishaka]

I did not know that; I already removed the windshield on that gold without damaging it I'll be careful!

[Beano]

Perhaps it is not a laminated front windscreen ?

These things vary from country to country....

.......Early 504s here in Australia (up until ....and including....1972) had safety glass windscreens. They are very tough, but shatter into small pieces if hit by a rock.

......Later models had laminated windscreens are 2 thin pieces of glass with sticky stuff between them. They crack fairly easily, but you can continue driving with a big crack in the glass, then replace it later.

I did not endure yesterday and I removed the windshield ... without any damage
Of course, under the rubber... It was a rust ....
look from above

look from the bottom


yesterday, it was not working ... the masters attacked the virus

[dishaka]

It worked a little, not as much as we wanted, because viruses do their work

a little sagging, a little welding, changing the tile of the locks...I'm waiting for the next weekend ... starts to look like a car

[Beano]

That's major work you're doing there ! It's progressing along quite nicely, Dishaka.

I notice that you have left on the top of the dash. You're not worried that it may get damaged ?
Are you aware of how easy they are to remove ? Just pull UP...the dash is held on by clips.

Sorry if you know this already....it just seems like it might get damaged.

[dishaka]

I have a better state

Thank you Beano

[dishaka]

I have not written for a long time, because nothing was done I hope for the works, maybe next week... To the master, the sister was seriously ill, and that's why work is delayed....
It was a nice time so I played a little

and I'm preparing stickers

Greeting

[Beano]

Wow....I'm impressed at all the work you have put in, Dishaka. Great stuff !

[dishaka]

Thank you Beano, but this is not some work, what should be .... I hope that soon there will be better and interesting works

Would you have a higher resolution please ?

[Beano]

Going to print them, are you ?

Nop
Mine are still doing fine.
But I'd keep them for any probable future need.

Someone had multiple sets of engine bay stickers reprinted and offered them on ebay a few years ago. I have a set
