Leaking Window seal

[Daryl]

Had a new windscreen fitted a while back,and with all the rain we have had has highlighted that something is wrong. Im getting a leak from the passenger side seal area. Il come back to the car and find a few drips on the inside of the window and on the tweeter cover. Iv pulled the seal off and put it back on,which seemed to help abit, but im still getting the leak. Has anyone else had this issue with a new windscreen? Is it the seal or the A pillar cover that possibly leaking?

I may be wrong, but I think the visible 'seal' is nothing more than a trim. I beleive the seal should be made by the adhesive bonding the screen in. The only proper fix would be to have the screen cut-out and fitted again.

 

Good luck.

Totally agree,back to windscreen people.

Why was screen replaced?

[Daryl]

Screen was replaced due to a massive crack caused by me putting the heater on when the car was covered in snow.

Went back to Autoglass yesterday to discuss the leak on my passenger window. When i picked the car up at the time,they explained that the previous owner had pretty much ruined the A pillar mounts,and the crack that has always been at the base of my passenger side A pillar cover is evidence of that. When I took it in yesterday,they covered the side of the car in water,and we couldnt find a leak. The Autoglass man took the whole seal off,and put it back on,so we shall see what happens now. Is it still possible to get new window seals? Autoglass man also suggested that if new seals dont work,then il need to replace the whole A pillar cover!!!!!!! Though i cant see what difference this will make
