FIXED GLASS WATER LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR
SERVICE INFORMATION
Water leaks around the windshield or a fixed window
glass can be sealed without removing the glass. If thewindshield/window glass is bonded and only has a small
leak, seal it with a liquid butyl sealant. If the weather-
strip seal or urethane adhesive has a large break, a ure-
thane adhesive must be used to seal the leak.
LEAK TEST
Water test the windshield/window with a spray only.
Do not use hard streams of water.Work from the
bottom to the top of windshield/window glass.
If a water leak exists between the glass and weath-
erstrip seal (or between the seal and a body flange):
²push the glass outward at the leak area, and
²determine the extent of the gap.
Push the glass outward while a helper sprays the
windshield/window with water.
SEALING MINOR LEAK AREAS
(1) Thoroughly clean and remove all foreign material
from the leak area. Dry area with compressed air.
(2) Seal the leak area with butyl sealant. Allow the
sealant to cure for at least 1/2 hour. Next, water test
the glass to ensure that the leak is sealed.
SEALING MAJOR LEAK AREAS
(1) Thoroughly clean the leak area.
(2) As applicable, apply primer to either the wind-
shield/window or weatherstrip seal leak area. Use
blackout primer on the windshield/window and ure-
thane primer on the weatherstrip seal.
(3) Apply urethane adhesive to the leak area. Use
an adhesive cartridge with a pointed nozzle.
(4) Water test the windshield/window immediately
with cold water spray. Allow water to spill over the
edge of the windshield/window and weatherstrip seal.
Do not direct a hard stream of water on re-
cently applied urethane.
(5) Apply additional urethane adhesive, if necessary.
(6) Remove any excess urethane adhesive.
