Water Leaks around your Z06 window molding? Anyone with water leaks lately?

Can you be more specific? Where are you seeing water intrusion?

I refer to my car as water "resistant". Some time in its life it must have had water on it over winter which froze and broke the seal between the rear deck and the rear window holding body part. So water leaks in there. I never deliberately drive it in the rain anyways, so not to big of a deal.

It's the plastic trim along the window. Over time, the glue has peelee away, leaving you with a rain gutter into the car. It's pretty common. Replacements aren't cheap. Best bet, would be to put some rtv down inside there, to help seal it up. You can remove them to fix, but are very brittle and you may break them.

I have water running down my passenger window at the trim down the pillar onto the floor. I have someone that owns a glass company that does wind shield replacements and water leaks going to try and fix it. I did a test on the leak and kept my passenger door open and put about a mouthful of water into the reveal molding on the roof and watched the water run out under the rubber molding and the water right down onto the kick molding. Hopefully he can repair it.

Yup driver side windows leaks. For some reason the window doesn't sit in the rubber weatherstripping

I would make sure he starts with the weather strip. Hopefully he can remove that, add some RTV and reinstall and that will solve the problem. The reveal moulding is fragile and replacements are a couple hundred bucks.

Hey Bluestreak thanks for the input. I tried not to get into a long story but this his his second try he took everything apart the first try with no problems and we thought we had the water leak fixed but there is still a area where it is coming in. I will let you know how i make out Don.

Same

There are adjustments that can be made to the window itself. There are access points in the door panel that will allow for the glass to be adjusted.

Well I had the 2 guys from the glass repair shop at my house working on my passenger window leak and took it apart again to try and seal it up. I will be doing a water test again on it to see how we made out with it. These guys replace windshields and water leaks all the time. They have seen water leaks come in all different cars. They told me you would not believe how water leaks all different areas.
