Default Re: Solution to window water leak...

I took a piece of paper today and rolled it up real tight. I stuck it in the hollow part of the passenger side molding. It helped press the rubber up against the inside of the glass. It stopped the water leak from rolling down my window.... at least I think so. I sprayed it real good on the window and I didn't see a drop. Usually I would see the water right away.

I noticed the rubber seal is ripped on the inside causing the weatherstrip to be more flexible and loose around the area that is leaking. Strange that the rip is right in the spot where the window is leaking. My guess is the guy who did my headliner was careless... or it was like that when I bought the car new and it just got worse. Combine the bad weatherseal with a window that needs an angle adjustment and you have a water leak. I think the gap is very small.... so a simple window pitch alignment may do the trick. If the weatherstrip is covered under the max care warranty then I will have them replace it too. If not I will try putting someting in there and patching the problem myself. I would assume this would also help with the wind noise (but I don't think I hear any wind noise).
