I may not be a good test case because I live in West Texas where it hardly rains, however, I added Permatex back in November and after multiple car washes, still no leaks.
Right. A good squeeze will get it in the crack and because its flowable, it will make its way down into the channel. I'd tape off your paint and top of window to keep it clean.
Yes, I just did the top channel, thick, from about 4-5 inches past the slider on the driver side, to 4-5 inches past slider on passenger side. My main crack was right at the corner of the slider on the drivers side. So far, no leaks since applying Permatex. Mine fills the channel almost up to...
It was a pain in the butt doing those map lights, wasn't it? I did mine a year ago but didn't use lasfit. One of the lights flickers now so I need to replace but don't want to mess with changing them since its a little difficult...and afraid I'm going to brake something.
No leaks after the car wash! Permatex did the trick. Hopefully it lasts for a while. I don't plan on messing with replacing it since my ext. warranty doesn't cover leaks.
I added almost the entire tube of Permatex underneath the brake light and about half a foot past the slider on both sides. It was pretty thick, basically filled the entire channel. After my water test, no drip on the inside. That's the first time I've not had a leak. I'm going to run it through...
I just went any got some more Permatex and cut a larger hole and got pretty good coverage. I'm going to let it sit for 24-48 hours and test it out. By looking at it, it seems there is no way water could get in once its dry.
Has anyone tried running some Gorilla tape or any other waterproof tape in the window channel? I'm wondering if that would help. I know water could still get in or under but maybe it would reduce the amount of water getting in as a temporary or "good enough" solution. In my head it seems like it...
Have you tested it with a car wash/hose or had rain since it was replaced? Curious how it is.
As for replacing the 3rd brake light gasket, I did that with a marine gasket but when I took the original off, I didn't see any evidence of water leaking through the gasket. I guess its possible it...
I'm thinking about doing what this guy did. I've tried sealing the back window, replacing gasket, etc. with no luck. I'm hoping if I can see exactly where the water is coming in, I can have better luck. Its coming in up under the headliner but I can't tell from the outside so maybe the inside...
