Check This Out! It Had to be done, too rusty (especially at front end) to do anything with! Wouldn't have passed its MOT without stupid money being piled into it!

Ok, so mine isn't quite that bad, but here's my worst primer-patch (now colour coated), but you can also see the famous rear window-surround rot...and we'd best not mention my sunroof!
cheers

HAYNES MANUAL!
If you've read it and still can't figure it....let me know. It's pretty easy when you know exactly what to do
cheers

Oh....and you won't be able to fix it, trust me...if it doesn't work, the mechanism is knackered = big bill to replace. If it ain't rusty and seals well (no wind noise), leave it closed and think yourself lucky!
cheers

Thank you!
It was a good system, you won't believe me if I tell you that I made 650 km with that, during a cold morning in the winter...

did you actually try the mot? mine passed its last one and the rust at the front is WORSE than that. in fact theres HUGE chunks missing under the rear bumper that they didnt notice either!

No didn't try MOT! Didnt think it was worth the money, the full car was only £50! Even if i had it MOT'd and it passed, how safe would i feel driving it around? The answer - not very! So don't have a head on!
Cheers

True, a mate drove into a black metal bollard, only the bumper had to be replaced! Let's not mention the bollard...
