Removable Rear Window Conversion Leak

[wrc3]

Anyone done this conversion and had leaking in the bottom corners? It all seams to fit well except that the corners don't seem to press tightly against the bottom corners and this allows water in. Any suggestions?

I'll be very interested in what others have to say here,as I just acquired the componets for this swap also.

Right away I noticed that the plastic guides didn't allow the pegs to slip all the way down in to the peg holes and so the top of the window couldn't clear the ridge to sit properly. I shaved the plastic guides down and the window seems to fit ok now, but leaks like crazy in the corners.

Mine doesnt leak, but I did have to cut a section out of the new weatherstrip when I installed it to make it fit properly.

Where did you have to cut out the weatherstripping?

the weatherstripping was too big I cut about 1/2 to 3/4 out of the long sides both top and bottom to get the proper fit; when glued in place it doesn't leak.

Thanks I am gonna pull the stripping out tomorrow and clean everything and try it again....

ARGH!!! I ended up doing the same thing (chopping bits of the weatherstripping) and it fits great, but is still leaking!!!
