This was a straightforward replacement of the original windscreen brackets, with these new ones [1]. The original part didn’t look in bad shape underneath when it was taken off but outwardly it was a little corroded and the gasket had seen better days. Hopefully replacing this should make water leaks via this part less likely. Of course, the first photo highlights certain body blemishes and the cracked seal of the windscreen. Not surprising in a nearly 16 year old vehicle, but I will have to get it replaced some time …
