i was aware of the little leak from the rear side window on the drivers side, but today I noticed a little leak from the passenger rear side window. Both leaks seem to be in about the same areas.

passenger side


drivers side



Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I plan to take her to the window shop tomorrow to have it fixed. I've already taken out the back seats.

Thanks

Sunroof drains are clogged. Drop the headliner and repair. Window shop can't help you.

 

And all this time I thought it was the damn (excuse my french) side window trim letting water in.
Thanks for the advice.
Now I have to figure out how to drop the headliner w/ out messing up the interior.

 

remove everything you see.

rear mirror, pillar trim, visors, etc......

 

Oh my goodness. I was getting ready to take off the trim in the back but the screw where the fron seatbelts come out will not unscrew. I may have to bite the bullet and take the time and do it. I sure don't want to pay someone to do it; plus it sounds like fun.

Question: If the sunroof drains are clogged would the headliner get wet?

 

100% possible, but the roof has a natural curve to it so it tends to go to the sides. Once you remove the rear trim (do that first) you'll know where you are on the project.

PS- to remove the rear trim you have to pull the rear seat. the trim has a pop snap holding it in and the rear quarter covers have to come off first.

 

Thanks or all your help.
I've searched headliner and I'm looking at your post where you removed your carpet and pressure washed it with oxy clean.

Today after work I removed the rear side panels and droped the headliner. I removed the tube fron the sunroof drain in the read and stuck a piece of habger in the holes to try and unclog them. It didn't feel like it was clogged but I hope that was the problem.

While I have the rear out I plan on taking the front seats and the center console out . I plan on shampooing the carpet really well, cleaning and conditioning the seats and panels while they are out, adding the a center console cup holder, and new emergency brake boot and shift ****. This will probably take some time, but I'm dedicated.

Wish me luck

Apologies for bringing back an old thread, but I found the leaks to be coming from the rear side windows and not the sunroof drains.

Questions:
I assume by removing the four bolts the glass will come out w/ alittle help. Is this a easy DIY job, to take the glass out, seal, and re-install? Has anyone done this, and what type of sealant did you use when re-installing.

I went to a place that installs glass and they told me to do it they would charge $40-$50 depending how hard it is to get the glass out.

Thanks

glass guy will need to cut out the butyl glue, its a tough job.

 

So, basically let them handle it.

Once they get the glue out, they will use the same glue or will they use another type?

I think my rear windshield needs to be re-glued also. It sounds like cracking glass back there when I hit bumps or the chassis flews. The funny thing is, when it's raining or damp outside the cracking sounds goes away.

Thanks
