Dan D90 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 It has taken a while but I have finally tracked down and fixed every leak in the defender except one! When it rains quite heavily, I get quite a lot of water running in between the door window glass and the outer seal: The seals look to be in good order, however still leak, I swapped them out for news one hoping to cure the issue, however if anything it seems to have gotten worse. It’s the same for both doors. Have I just purchased carp seals or aim I missing something? The water is definitely creeping between the glass and the seal as I can see it, has anyone else had this issue, perhaps this is one of these cases where only a genuine part will do?

I put new seals on mine earlier in the year and they've been fine. I can't remember where i got them from (they may be Br*tpart ones) but they formed a tight seal against the window. Are you sure the water is coming in directly at the seal? Could it be coming in from the corners and working its way towards the middle of the window to make it seam like it's the seal thats giving way?

Dan D90 Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 It's defo creeping between the glass and the seal, I can see the seepage through the glass, its also dripping around the middle of the door. I have already sealed the corners with DumDum so no problem there. I will wait for it to rain and takes some pictures... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 if the glass side guides are weak they may allow the window to run "inboard" of the seal rather than tight up against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
