A few issues with my Super5,
1. I have a bad patch of rust under the left rear quarter window which has also infiltrated under the seal (I think this is the same on the right side too) I can't find a replacement seal, nor a Renault 5 GTT Window set, so I'm stuck as to how to fix this...

2. Strange windscreen seal gap, is there supposed to be this much of a gap? I can see bubbling in there.

3. Windscreen has this thing, again probably the seal.

The car suffered a poor respray at some point in its life, probably Arnold Shark when they owned it (there was still masking tape left on the car when I bought it!)
Mechanically all is good, garage advised rocker gasket be replaced at some point, and it sometimes has poor idle, maybe need to adjust the carb.
 
That last picture looks very much like windscreen delamination to me.
Generally not something that can be repaired so you'd need to get a new one... but I don't believe it should be a MOT fail unless it restricts the driver's view.
