Leaking windows!

[coco79]

Left the car out in the rain over the weekend, and came back this morning to find that both internal door panels were soaking wet! I can't seem to find where the rain water seeped through?! The electric windows sit tight against the rubber and so does the roof..any ideas how to resolve..thanks

On mine the drivers window is only in contact with the door seal until about half-way up the window's front edge. Water runs down the windown and seal until the point where they meet and then gradually drips inside the car. The drips fall down onto the leather just inside the cubby hole and the cubby hole ends up wet at the bottom.

I think the water is coming in where the corner of the roof and the rear edge of the windscreen meet - its not a major enough problem for me to want to tackle but I'd start there if I were you.

Good luck!

I keep a small sponge in the door pocket which absorbs all the rain.

Inside the door panel you can adjust the 'up' limit of the window - maybe it would help if the window went up a couple of mm more?

I'm wondering if it's possible to change the angle of the window coming out of the door? I could do with the top half of my drivers window being 2-3mm closer to the inside so that it contacts with the front seal. This would probably fix my dripping problem!

Anyone know if there is adjustment for this?

You can, if you take the door card off you'll see that the glass is just clamped in place.

You could loosen the clamps a little and move the glass.

It might be a bit fiddly to get it aligned properly though!

You can also move the frame that the window slides in where it's bolted into the door.
