The window water leak is bothering me again! Just lightly sprayed the window (where the glass meets the rubber). Started at the triangle and worked my way up the window. The moment I hit the glass above the triangle I can see the water dripping down the inside. I think the pitch is off on the window because it is not tucked in behind the top rubber molding like my driver side. I can stick my nail in the track between my window and the top rubber.

I showed it to the dealer.... he adjusted the height (it needed that too) but never touched the pitch like I asked them to. I figured I would give it a chance and test it first. It obviously failed the test.

It is driving me crazy and I am sorry for repeating myself. I hate to be a parrot! If anyone has any thoughts to help me feel better, please share. A bit upset and nervous for my next rain storm... I am hoping I could get this fixed. Not sure why after 4 years it is now leaking. The rubber still looks great.

 

I have some thoughts on this, but I have a roadster that has a similar leaf at the top of the A pillar. If you can post a couple of pics pointing out EXACTLY where the problem is, just maybe...

 

Good idea.... I probably should have taken pictures. I will work on that. But if you don't mind, let me know what you are thinking. I may bring the car in soon before we get our next rain storm!

 

Mine leaks with a strong stream of water at the top of the angle where it turns from 45 degrees to horizontal. On a roadster, the weatherstrip in this area is hollow, but one can place a "filler" inside the weatherstrip. On mine, we're talking about building it up maybe .015" to make it touch correctly.

I found where mine isn't touching by putting a VERY THIN coat of oil (3-in-1) on the weatherstrip, closing the door and seeing from the outside where the oil didn't touch the inside of the glass. Does this make sense to you? Without the oil, you can't tell where it touches or not.

Then, I can insert a little sliver of foam rubber to build it up where needed.

Let me know?

 

I have a tube of black silicone. I thought about using just a touch of that. Should the water be getting through the glass to the inner rubber seal? That rubber seal on the inside has a water track but I didn't think it was supposed to even get back there.

I had the headliner replaced back in Nov. I wonder if they messed up that rubber strip by not putting it back right. Maybe now it is not sealing with the window properly.

 

I just noticed that my weather strip is torn on the inside in the hollow section. That could be why the weatherstrip is not touching the top of the window correctly. The driver side is torn too but not as bad and the window is adjusted perfectly. I think my leak is caused by a combination of problems... the window pitch needs an adjustment and the weatherstrip is not pressed tightly against the window.

I bet the guys that replaced my headliner tore my weatherstrip! I am thinking about stuffing the hollow part of the weather strip and checking to see if water gets in.

 

Blackcrossfire07, I hope you get all the issues resolved with your Crossfire so that you can join us on a GTG to meet other owners.

 

Let's see what happens. I will like to eventually get out there. My car is not a problem child but lately there have been a ton of little things that bother me.
