WATERLEAK REPAIR

Some waterleaks around the glass can be repaired
without removing the glass.

Important: This type of repair may be used only for
urethane-installed glass.

1. Remove the reveal molding in the area of the leak.

It may be necessary to remove the garnish molding
or the trim strip lace in order to locate the leak.

2. While spraying water over the leak area, carefully

push the glass outward in order to determine the
size of the leak.

3. Mark the location of the leak.

4. Use water to clean any dirt from the area. Dry the

area with an air hose.

5. Using a sharp knife, trim off the uneven edges of

the adhesive caulking material around the leak for
a distance of 75 to 100 mm (3 to 4 inches) on both
sides of the leak.

7. Prime the trimmed area with the primer.

10. Immediately after applying the adhesive, use a

flat stick or a similar tool to work the adhesive into
the leak area and into the joint between the original
material and the vehicle body in order to ensure a
watertight seal.

11. Spray warm or hot water over the repaired area in

order to determine if the leak was repaired. Do
not run a heavy stream of water directly on the
freshly-applied adhesive.

12. Install the trim strip lace if it was removed.

13. Install the garnish molding if it was removed.

14. Install the reveal molding.

Important: After the completion of any waterleak
repair, re-test the area using the watertest stands.
Do not use localized testing procedures on the
newly-repaired areas, as the repair material may
dislodge under abnormal pressure.

15. Installation should follow the removal procedure

in the reverse order.

DIAGNOSIS

WINDNOISE DIAGNOSIS

Caution: An assistant should drive the vehicle while
the technician checks for the location of the wind-
noise, in order to prevent personal injury or vehicle
damage.

A test drive in the vehicle is necessary to accurately
determine the location of the windnoise. Often there is
a primary leak and secondary leaks. Failure to repair
all leaks will only reduce the windnoise, not eliminate
it.

During the test drive the technician should bring the
following items to aid in determining the location of
the windnoise.

•

A mechanics stethoscope or vacuum hose

•

Masking tape

•

Strip caulk

•

A china marking pencil

•

A screwdriver

Perform the following steps in order to conduct the
road test:

1. Choose a route that includes smooth straight

streets that run in all four directions (north, south,
east, and west).

2. Choose streets with little traffic or noise that would

interfere with the test.

3. Drive the vehicle at the speeds at which the noise

was noticed by the customer or until the noise is
produced. Do not exceed legal speed limits.

4. The windnoise is external if any of the following

conditions occur:

•

The windnoise is caused by the wind.

•

The windnoise can be heard with the door glass
lowered and while the vehicle is being driven.

•

The windnoise is eliminated when tape is placed
over various moldings and gaps.

5. Internal windnoise is air leaving the vehicle and

should be repaired in the following manner.

•

In order to locate the leak, tape off the body
lock pillar pressure relief valves. This will cause
air pressure to build up inside the vehicle and
enhance the windnoise.

•

Use a stethoscope or a vacuum hose to locate
the leak.

•

Temporarily repair the leak with masking tape.

•

Continue testing in order to determine if the noise
has been eliminated or if other leaks exist.

•

When all leaks have been found, return to the
shop and make permanent repairs with the
proper alignment techniques and sealing
materials.
