Cracked Side Window That Leaks Empty Cracked Side Window That Leaks

Post by elijay Fri Sep 02, 2011 7:54 am

The sliding window behind the drivers seat has cracked at the top. It leaks and water collects in the gap. My solution, so far, is to remove the plastic bung, slide in a small length of synthetic shammy (to act as a wick) to collect in a microfbre cloth rolled up and placed next to wick.

One solution would be to remove both windows and swap sides. That way the crack would be at the bottom. I don't want to do that as it is too big a job for me to tackle alone and I really don't want the expense. Any other ideas?

Elijay,
I agree that swapping the sliding windows side to side would be difficult.
With the cracked window is it possible to glue it with super glue? Or to introduce some form of clear sealant into the crack? It may not look pretty however but if it cured the leak so what.

Try a carefull aplication of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] up!
just enough to cover the crack this would do the job dont put too much on in case it runs, -----

if the crack is not big do you have access to someone with a soldering iron to carefully weld the crack. allthumbz

as a last resort stick a transfer of some sort over the crack. gimmefive
