Water is leaking through my windows

Jag32 · 06-05-2006, 05:12 PM

I just washed my new 6 day old 2006 STI and water is leaking through the edge of the windows, the seal on the windows isn't very good.

The amount of water that seeped through was barely a few drops, but it still leaked through none the less.

Has anyone else here had this issue? Is it something I can easily remedy myself or should I take it into the dealer?

ya it happens to me too but the amount that seeps into the window is like nothing. i usually see a little soap on the inside of the windows but its gone in like 5 min so its not that big of a deal

it happens, that's just how the seals are on the car. Even though it looks like water is getting in, it really isn't, it will clear up/evaporate an hour or so after washing. I have never had water actually get in, it just looks that way. Just don't point the sprayer directly at the seals when you are rinsing it off.
