CAUTION: Disconnect the negative battery cable before removing or installing any electrical unit or when a
tool or equipment could easily come in contact with exposed electrical terminals. Disconnecting this cable
will help prevent personal injury and damage to the vehicle. The ignition must also be in LOCK unless
otherwise noted.

DIAGNOSIS
WATERLEAK DIAGNOSIS
The repair of waterleaks in the body requires proper
testing and diagnosis. Repair waterleaks by adjusting
the misaligned parts and using the proper repair materi-
als. First, determine what conditions cause the leak.
For example, the leak may occur only when the vehicle
is parked on an incline, or water may appear only in
the spare tire compartment. Second, test the area for
the source of the leak using the following testing
methods. If the general leak area is found, determine
the exact entry point of the leak by using a water hose
or an air hose. If the general leak area is not obvious,
use the watertest stands to determine the area of the
leak. It may be necessary to remove some interior trim
panels or some parts in order to locate the leaks.
Important: It is necessary to find the origin of all the
leaks before making any repairs. Random repairs may
stop the leak only temporarily and may make future
repairs more difficult. Continue localized testing in the
general area in order to ensure that all leaks are found.1 1/2-inch by 36-inch Pipe

Generalized Testing
1. Set up the watertest stands.

9I-4 WATERLEAKS
3. Perform the watertest stand leak test. Refer to
“Watertest Stand Specifications” in this section.
4. If the local water pressure does not allow the
required water pressure of 155 kPa (22.5 psi),
move both stands closer to the vehicle so that
the water sprayoverlaps.
Localized Testing (Spot Test)
1. Do localized testing with a water hose or an air
hose.
2. Begin testing by spraying the air or the water at
the base of the suspected leak area. Continue
spraying the air or the water upward until the leak
is found.

2. Set up the watertest stand leak test.

Water Hose Test
1. Place another person inside the vehicle in order
to detect the location of the leak.
2. Use a water hose without a nozzle.

KAA9I050
KAA9I060
Air Hose Test
1. Apply soapy water to the outside of the vehicle in
the suspected leak area.
2. Blow air from inside the vehicle. The air pressure
should not exceed 205 kPa (29.7 psi).
3. Determine the location of the leaks from the
bubbles formed in the soapy water.
3. Begin spraying the water at the base of the
suspected leak area. Continue spraying the water
upward until the leak is found.

6. Using a sharp knife, trim off the uneven edges of
the adhesive material around the leak 75 to 100
mm (3 to 4 inches) on both sides of the leak.

WATERLEAK REPAIR
Some waterleaks around the glass can be repaired
without removing the glass.
Important: This type of repair may be used only for
urethane-installed glass.
1. Remove the reveal molding in the area of the leak.
It may be necessary to remove the garnish molding
or the trim strip lace in order to locate the leak.
2. While spraying water over the leak area, carefully
push the glass outward in order to determine the
size of the leak.
3. Mark the location of the leak.
4. Use water to clean any dirt from the area. Dry the
area with an air hose.
5. Using a sharp knife, trim off the uneven edges of
the adhesive caulking material around the leak for
a distance of 75 to 100 mm (3 to 4 inches) on both
sides of the leak.

8. Allow the primer to dry for 5 minutes.
9. Apply the adhesive over the leak and for a
distance of 75 to 100 mm (3 to 4 inches) on both
sides of the leak.
KAA9I080
7. Prime the trimmed area with the primer.
10. Immediately after applying the adhesive, use a
flat stick or a similar tool to work the adhesive into
the leak area and into the joint between the original
material and the vehicle body in order to ensure a
watertight seal.
11. Spray warm or hot water over the repaired area in
order to determine if the leak was repaired. Do
not run a heavy stream of water directly on the
freshly-applied adhesive.
12. Install the trim strip lace if it was removed.
13. Install the garnish molding if it was removed.
14. Install the reveal molding.
Important: After the completion of any waterleak
repair, re-test the area using the watertest stands.
Do not use localized testing procedures on the
newly-repaired areas, as the repair material may
dislodge under abnormal pressure.
15. Installation should follow the removal procedure
in the reverse order.
