<VV> Early Model Windshield gasket Problem

[rocklord at suddenlink.net]

I have the same problem with my rear window.  My installer inserted both the windshield and backglass without placing sealant around the opening first. It worked for the front, but not the back.  Placing sealant around the opening, and inside the gasket next to the glass, first can make a mess for the installer, but it is the only way to insure that it won't leak.

Ask your installer if he used sealant.  If he didn't, then have him reinstall the windshield with some around the opening and inside the gasket next to the glass.

Good Luck.
Dan

I have a friend that has installed new gaskets both front and rear and is having 
a real water leakage problem. This is the second set of (expensive!) gaskets 
he's purchased - two different manufacturers - and is still having torrents of 
water coming in. Both times they were installed by professionals who have 
installed windshields for him before. 
Any suggestions on how to solve the problem?? 
Thanks,
