Rear Glass Leak, Need Help

[victorgallas]

Hey everyone

 

I have been slowly restoring a comanche here and I am trying to wrap it up.

I just had the rear glass re installed with fresh sealer.

I just had a chance to run water on the car and I get water in the cab. Its very little ammount, but its coming in. i can see the water trickling down on the back wall behind the plastic trim pieces. 

You can see what I mean on this picture below:

I wanted to ask if anyone attempted to repair this by putting some sealant on the outside, between the paint and the rubber seal, as a way to prevent water from leaving down that way.

Any input?

 

What are you guys suggestions to dealing with this water leakeage?

 

All the best

You had the glass installed? By a shop?

 

Take it back and have them do it again. That rubber gasket is only trim. The glass is glued in, same as the front windshield. If it leaks, the installer screwed up the job.

I would do as eagle said , you paid to have the job done right .

 

The only things I would add is , was it rusty where the glass is urethaned to the metal ? If it is they may not warranty their work . It could also be leaking between where the cab corner and back panel or roof meet , I d check those too .

Thanks guys!

 

Actually no rust in there, as we had the entire truck re painted with the glass removed, so they could paint the seal area properly :)

 

I ended up using a micro USB cam and found that the water is coming in from the top seam, at the cab corner and roof. I think i can patch it up from the inside without removing the glass. i still have the interior out as i am still finishing the restoration process.
