Ok, so a lot of water gets in when it rains. Prolly because there is a gap between the window and the rubber seal. How do you adjust your side windows so that there is no gap?

The problem is not the seals, unfortunately. New or good seals will reduce the problem, but eliminating the leaks is almost impossible due to a 30 year old design. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
In our cars, the only things guiding the window as it closes are the channel at the front and the regulator where it attaches to the bottom of the glass. As "frameless" door windows have evolved over the years, manufacturers have learned that they needed to add plastic "guides" to the bottom of the glass that engage with alighment pieces as the window reaches the closed position, firming up the fit into just the right spot. These designs have really only been perfected in the last 10 years or so, and there is no way to retro-fit them to our cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
