Superb job, well done. (y)

That's good so I don't need to check mine! 😉 (y)

I would be interested to know what condition the metal underneath is in as I expect mine may be similar?

Same here when I removed the flooring to add some closed cell foam to the footwells.

I have just looked at my T1n and there are three round covers on the tread plate, this is on both the driver's and passenger side. (y)

I think there might be two flush caps in the footwell likely covering screws?

I've just watched a couple of vid clips and it looks like the windscreen edge cover strip can be removed to help sorting out the rust spots? I think a gutter strip would work fine all along the pointy edge of the pod.

Mine is T1n with auto too. My windscreen is also likely bonded then, is the edge cover removable? I'll give it a clean and take a closer pic.

That seems like a good idea. Quite a bit of water runs off the front of the roof so maybe some would spill over the gutter? Though different makes are maybe different sizes? It's hard to find the dimensions of some but still likely the way to go. (y)

Yep, a Sprinter. I'll get a bit of sealant behind the windscreen top seal next time. I have already resealed the fibreglass pod to the body.

I last cleaned our roof in summer. I guess there are three potential things. Can't really do much about the puddle on the roof. The black streaks are just cosmetic though better if can be avoided. The main thing is to stop any rust, just that 1" strip above the windscreen that is troublesome but...

Though I have prepped and repainted the bit above the windscreen a couple of times when rust has shown, as you say it really wants sealing. So next time I'll carefully apply some discreet sealant between the paint and windscreen seal to stop any water ingress causing further rust. The black...

I was thinking something like a draught excluder tape or suchlike. Something discrete and minimal, I'll see what might do it. (y)

That is a great idea but it wouldn't help here. Water collects in a slight dip just behind where the fibreglass bubble joins the main roof, it then overflows over the front only. Fortunately the two are well sealed, I guess it has been like this from new.

The effect is much worse when stood as rain water and the accumulated muck off the roof gets washed down over the windscreen accelerating the bit above the screen to rust, despite sanding it back and repainting twice so far, but it is a difficult bit to get at and do. I was wondering if fitting...

It's looking great, good job. (y)

Some cheap silicone sealant would do the job. As you say full contact so no condensation can form in a cavity.

I might leave it until spring as in no great rush.

I have a bottle of One Shot Green Poly Adhesive to fix an area of delaminated floor and was wondering if applying it below a certain temperature has any effect? Or will it just dry slower?

I guess that's ideal if you do a lot of reading. ;):LOL:
