Window Rubbers Not Sealing

[joe2612]

So i traced my leak down to the rubbers not having a tight grip on the window. Has anyone else encountered this problem before and what was your solution?

The window rubbers are more of a water deterrant than a seal. A certain amount of water will run past and out the door drains

How much water is coming through and where is it coming out/going through?

[joe2612]

If I pour a watering can over the window, it's like a waterfall entering the door. The passenger side is worse than the drivers. I've sealed both doors with a plastic membrane so hopefully that might stop it..

Have you got the internal window seal strip clipped into place? The doorcard snaps into it at the top

[joe2612]

Is that the white strip? Yep have got that in, the water definitely is getting in right at the top.

[alexperkins]

No it's black. White strip is door card side

Have you got a pic looking down at the seals with the doorcard off?

[joe2612]

Hmm, Is the trim visible with the door card on? I'll get the card off and have another look.

[alexperkins]

Yeah, if you look down the where the glass meets the doorcard its visible

i had this problem on mine i used some washers on the window regulator mounts to make a better seal between the window and the rubber, seemed to have worked ok
