Keep us posted Aaron.

Towcestervag might be onto something here.

I am pretty certain that I know where this is going.

well i rung up old matey who fitted my last windscreen, and he reckons ive got surface rust under the top of the window on both corners and that culd be y anuva window has sufferd, any1 got any ideas how to fix the problem if it is that???

yes.
its very rare to get rust there. if there is rust there then this was because your window sill had a weak rubber seal causing water to trap there & eventually rust up.
most likely that is you problem & can occur again if not fixed propley.
its a bodyshop man's job. you got to rub it down, primer & prep it then spary over with using an underseal sort of protection coating.
this should do the trick. let us know the outcome'
