Customers mat comment of water dripping onto the front seat when the door opens or down the A-pillar onto the carpeting with the door open.
Water leaking onto the front seat with the door open could be caused by water dripping at the encapsulation and drip molding joint. Water leaking onto the carpeting with the door open could be caused by water entering the windshield encapsulation, outside of the urethane seal at the windshield, then running down the A-pillar onto the carpeting when the door is opened.
For a water leak that drips water onto the front seat with the door open, seal the molding joint from the top side. If the water leaks down the A-pillar with the door open, seal the encapsulation at the windshield.
Run an unrestricted flow of water over the roof panel an allow it to run over the drip molding to verify where the water leak is located.
and wipe the sealer to obtain a smooth appearance.
