Phantom Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I am really getting tired of this. Third window seal and it's already been resealed a second time. Water is coming in between the glass and the seal. At least this time it's only on the passenger side, not on both like last time.

love-my-V8-280Z Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Phantom, What is the problem? I will need my windshild reinstalled and maybe you can help me not have the same probelms. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Maybe the TQ from the LS1 is shifting the body/frame and causeing the windsheild to shift just enough to leak? Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I'll tell you how I got mine to stop leaking. I got a tube of clear silicone and actually used that long pointy tip that comes with it. I stuffed it under the lip of the seal and spooged a bunch of silicone INSIDE the seal around the corners. Worked great. Can't tell you how many I've seen siliconed outside the lip of the seal. The glass goes 1/2" or so inside the seal. There is plenty of room in there to get the silicone in without having to have it all over the windshield.

Phantom Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 Thanks Jon. That actually has been done once so far. The windshield guys say it's not necessary but I personnally will insist that they use a sealant in the windshield groove of the gasket from now on. I don't leak between the gasket and the body - just between the gasket and the windshield. Next itme they pull it I think I'll insist on both areas just to be safe.

Drax240z Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Any chance that you are using a 2+2 windshield in your 2 seater? The 2+2 is slightly smaller in all dimentions... hard to tell without having them side to side though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 Nope, It's the original windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonsZ Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Get the Gen II clear GE silicone II. It's paintable, lasts forever and will withstand a temperature range outside the limits of earthly demands. I used it on some "vents" on my truck 8 years ago and it still looks exactly like the day I put it on, dirt won't even stick to it, it's in full sunlight all day. (Wish I could coat the entire truck with it somehow.) Don't grab a tube of Bathtub calk, it'll become brittle in the sun and end up leaking again within a few years.
