STATIONARY GLASS WATER LEAK DETECTION
AND REPAIRÐXJ
SERVICE INFORMATION
Water leaks around the windshield or a stationary
window glass can be sealed without removing the
glass. If the windshield/window glass is bonded and
only has a small leak, seal it with a liquid butyl seal-
ant. If the weatherstrip seal or urethane adhesive
has a large break, a urethane 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 de-
termine 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 mate-
rial 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 neces-
sary.
(6) Remove any excess urethane adhesive.
