rain water infiltration- leaking windshield not sunroof
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2012 6:14 pm
Love my '06 Vibe. LOVE. Shortly after buying it used 6 mos ago, I found I had a leak in what I thought was the sun roof. Water was dripping from the trim high on the passenger side A post ( btw the windshield and the pass door). Took a peek under the headliner and into that area by taking off the visor and the sun roof trim to see towards that area. Set up a garden hose spraying on the car and found dripping water from the windshield at the top pass corner-NOT the sunroof. Brought it to a windshield guy( not just an installer of new windows, but a Glass Guy ). He fou d water had been seeping under the windshield and running along the whole front frame where the roof meets the windshield. Had to have the rust ground off and painted and the windshield put back (he was able to get it out and replace it without cracking it). He said if left unchecked it would have continued rusting and would have eventually required thousands in body work. Hope this might help if anyone else has similar problem.
