Mike M Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hi all, My windscreen rubber keeps coming away at the top of the screen with the wind at some higher leptons and scared the hell out of me the first time it happened. I take it I need a new one, anyone know how much roughly? Does the cruise control tap the brakes when going downhill? mine felt like it was today. Just wondering really. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I dont think it taps the brakes when trying to keep the speed down, just limits power to the engine to try and not go over the set speed I could be wrong tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite a steep hill and I dont think lifting off would have kept the speed at 70 but I could feel like repeated taps on the brakes, well thats what it felt like anyway.

Kranz Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I thought cruise just opened & closed the throttle... there would be severe safety implications if it had control of the brakes and went wrong Could it have been the gearbox changing??? For the screen rubber just stick it down with some Loctite 5900 or similar RTV..... I think? That's what I did on my old Jag when it did the same!

Thanks mate I tried silicon which has lasted a few months but I would like a permanent fix. I'll look into the loctite stuff. Def not changing gear its a manual. Maybe it was just lifting off the throttle but felt funny as it was doing it repeatedly. Not sure as it's the first time I've went down a hill with the CC on.

rik Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I bought the windscreen moulding for mine last week... Part No;T75533-14190 Unit Price £33.40 I've been advised that the screen should have to come out to replace it, as the moulding is designed to fit over the inside and outside face of the screen. But my mate (ex Auto Glass fitter for 4 years) thinks he may be able to sort it with out removing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant to be strong stuff but we'll see, the silicon lifted at 140 leptons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Cool. The screen wont come out obviously as it's bonded in. The worst that will happen is someone behind might catch your moulding bouncing off their screen if it lets go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 LOL I hope not:) I can normally hear the thing lifting making me slow down, sounds like a jet fighter on the roof. tbh it's looking abit old and I think it has shrunk too as it doesn't cover the length of the 'A' post .
