Default Window Seals

Has anyone had a problem w/ the rubber seals on the top right corner of the window? When it rains it dribbles H20 down the inside of my window!

Mine only leak a little after a carwash. I think there are some seal restorers that you can rub in that might help.

You may want to treat your seals with some shin etsu grease. That will help soften them up and keep them protected. You can get it from handaaccessories.

rubber seals srink a bit when the weather is cold ,, to make them regain there shape and size ,, rub them down with vasoline . not alot but enough for it to cover the rubber ..best to do it when the sun is out , but if you rub some on the seals and then drive with the heater on for a bit ... it will allow the vasoline to soak in to the seal ... works great and most everyone has some ..
