Fixed quarter light leak

Post by Lewis.. »

So I've recently noticed a leak coming from my passengers quarter light window. I replaced all my cab window seals a few months ago.

The leak is coming up on the bottom edge between the glass and the seal. The seal also isn't sitting tight against the glass but my driver side is tight against it.

Could it be possible that I haven't quite fitted the seal right or could it be a duff seal?

hi lewis where did you get the seal from? as i know the JK ones for the windscreen are a bad fit & people have had issues with those. I not heard about people having issue with quarter light seals. I would make sure the seal is as tight as can be if you have a gap then water will finds it way into the vehicle. Also where in northamptonshire are you from?

Hi,

The seal is from Brickwerks so I'm confident in the quality. Just seems odd that one side is sitting tight but the other side isn't. Doesn't seem like I can make it sit against the glass any tighter. Might take it out and refit it, see if it's any better. I'm from Kettering
