I noticed a few days ago that my windscreen seal seems to be coming loose from the top like so:

Want to get it sorted pretty quickly, would it just be a case of a new windscreen seal and how much are they from Renault?

Or do I need a new windscreen? :( It looks like the windscreen has shifted down, but not sure why this would happen. Any help is greatly appreciated!

the seal is in 2 parts

one part fits around the screen and needs to be in place on the screen before the screen is fitted :shock:

the other bit 'clips' into the other seal and covered the gap between the windscreen and the shell


if your windscreen is moving or that seal has come off, you have problems! :D - I'm surprised the screen hasn't cracked yet tbh

The seal just unclips. Push it back in.

The sun / weather might have bent the seal. Try pulling it off and see if it is straight. If not get a second hand one from a scrap yard, they just pull out.
