I finally got my car back, and guess what... It leaks in the corners. To be honest with you, it looks like the window needs to go more to the drivers side, about an 1/8 of an inch. You can see a little of the silver on the drivers side of the frame, and nothing on the passengers side. But, how can you move it if the mounts in the bottom can only be in one position? They are telling me they are thoroughly confused on as to how this window CAN'T leak. The water is fine in the middle of the window, and seems to flow roll down the crack between the window and the gasket, not going in though, and flows to the corners where it goes into the car... The gasket is round in the corners as to where the window isn't. You can see in the corners where the gasket is rounded, that there is a gap between it and the window. The gasket on the top gets compressed nicely with the clamps, and they can't see why, or how the bottom would do the same without clamps. I guess you can't move the inserts in the bottom back, towards the back of the car, because the gasket is hard and really doesn't compress at all. It is a brand new gasket. They even tried to bring the bottom gasket out a bit more to hit the window, no luck. Any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.
