Hi,
Latest leak detected is a minor one, small quantity of leakage at steady flow at severe rains, hopefully one of the last:
front windscreen rubber.

Front windscreen frame is divided, at lower left & right hand side
connects, this is also lowest point.

At the inside at our LR 110 ingress of water at this point visibly from rubber onto frame, originating from area encapsulated by glass, rubber & frame.

Had same problem with my first Renault type 4's: at later stage Renault made small dip at lowest windscreen rubber point to drain this area.

Trick at earlier Renault 4: small piece of rectangular rubber, eg filter seal dimensions = ideal (say 3 x 5 mm, length, say, 10 mm), stick this at lowest outside point under windscreen rubber flap, creating drain of encapsulated water.

Success + Best Wishes to you All
