so the baur has covered about 150miles since it passed its test, but we have had some pretty heavy rain and ive discovered a wet carpet and glove box.... has anyone removed their screen to replace the rubber? does the dash have to come out?

Hi. No need to remove the dash

Pretty easy to do, but you will definitely need a new trim strip thing, as it will be rock solid and crack when you remove it.

I fear you will find bits in need of welding under there, although I had a nice surprise with my Baur when I took the screen out - no rust holes at all! There are small holes either side which are supposed to drain out any water that gets past the seal, don't fill them.

Best of luck, but I am thinking of hiding behind the sofa when you reveal what is there!

Thanks drjim, believe me I have the mig warmed up ready!! I don't think I've have removed anything from my baur without finding holes and brown flakey stuff!! Rust doesn't scare me anymore !!!
