I see what you say Adam,but if there's a problem with a nice easy fix I'd go for that anyday! It wasn't like the 4L was the last word in
engineering,so if by lateral thinking Or simply banging with a hammer for that sake helps.get me the hammer..
take another typical R4-problem..Nothing to do with issue over,just for the sake of it.. Upper part of doors not staying snug so lets in noise
and rain and in the end they will develope cracks front and rear of bottom window line..there's quite a bit of air coming into the cabin by
vent or open windows there is a build-up of airpressure with no way of escape..So doors will bulge out.. due to simple fact they omitted an
exit vent somewhere..
I've made louvres hidden under the reg-plate on rear-hatch (F4) to let incoming air out; doors will stay tight and I get more ventilation if
needed.. also nice after taco-dinner
I only mentioned my simplistic solutions-if they would work for others is up for proof.
As mentioned water wetter aids to get rid of air-bubbles by way of removing surface-tension which again causes air-locks and hot spots which
for me was a problem. Opening up hole for exhaust etc. made it poss for me to dry my nylonsocks on the fender again without them melting!
Anyway I hope Paul solves his problem and we'll all meet up in Thenay for a beer and a big fight
