| Post subject: | Door window leakage? |
This is a duplicate from: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/vie ... highlight= I'm trying to get maximum exposure to resolve this issue and get my doors back together. Thanks I have been installing sound damping material in my doors in my spare time over the last few weekends. I have been using spray sound damping on the inside surface of the outer door shell and on the inside of the plastic door panel, as well as Cascade Audio VB-2 sound damping mat (non-asphalt based dynamat alternative) over the interior door shell. The passenger doors are all done and interior panels are back on, but I am still working on the driver doors. Last sunday I sprayed the drivers side doors and panels and had to wait for them to dry before applying the mat over the door. It was a rainy saturday today, and I was going to apply the mat over the doors today. However, before I started I noticed there was water dripping into the door from both sides of the window track. It wasn't a lot...no accumulation really but enough for me to be concerned about. I haven't checked the passenger side yet because I really don't want to rip off the mat I worked so hard to install. Now, I have had all 4 window regulators replaced under factory warranty. Are windows typically 100% watertight? Is this normal? I have a feeling that if I take it to the dealership now, they will tell me to go screw myself. Is there anything I can do myself to seal it up? Opinions, and/or experiences anybody? Thanks. |

If you are talking about water that is running down inside of the door, yes, thats 100% normal. This is why there is a plastic cover over the speaker and its also why there are drains in the bottom of the door. Same thing with the sunroof if you have one and wonder why there are drain tubes getting clogged and soaking the carpet.

There has to be a gap between the window and door in order for the window to freely move up and down. The only way to stop water from intruding into the back side of the door, would be to seal the window to the door with caulk. Otherwise, it is inherint that some water will run into the door from the window. It's going to be like that on all cars. |
