Water Leak Through Windows After Car Wash
Water Leak Through Windows After Car Wash
Has anyone had this problem? I washed my G35c for the first time yesterday and I noticed that there was some water that leaked through to the inside of the car after I finish washing the car. The leaks were on the driver and passenger side windows.
Anyone else experience this? Is it normal, or something I should definitely get checked out?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Water Leak Through Windows After Car Wash
When washing, avoid directing the stream of water at the window edges, normally water doesn't travel at that velocity sideways...
I usually wash my car at least once or twice a week, and have never had any water leakage......
If in doubt, take it in and have the dealer check it

I have never had any water in my G after a wash, is it around all doors, or just localized? Only convertibles usually suffer from this, and then only at a car wash, not from just a hose!

It's around some parts of the window. I could see it collecting between the window and door seal, but I didn't think it was going to leak through. I have an appt. with my dealer to have it checked out.
And no way will I be bringing my G to a normal car wash.
Always hand washed!

Re: Water Leak Through Windows After Car Wash
thats normal. The coupe's windows are pillarless. Mine have done this from Day 1. Just make sure you dont spray too much water at the upper edge, it wont leak as much. Simply dry the car, dry the outside of the window, then open the door and dry the inside top edge of the window, and the rubber molding inside, and the door edge and sills. Make it routine...

Oh, duh, sorry, I didn't see it was a coupe, he's right, that's normal for "trackless" windows, nothing to hold them in place when pressure hits!

Re: Water Leak Through Windows After Car Wash
Thanks guys. I'll try not to spray too much water by the windows. I just thought it would be sealed a little better. Oh well, I'll deal.
