I hope someone has gone thru this experience and can help me. I have a 1987 coupe that has a leak around the windshield that I cannot locate. I did a pressure test with the windows closed, fan on high and applied soap to the windshield around all the molding and rubber seals. It bubbled like crazy from under the molding but the seals were ok. The water runs down the plastic moldings on the inside and puddles on the door sill. I took it to the best auto glass garage (they do all the insurance and dealer repairs in town) in my area and had them look at it and told them to pull the w/s and reseal it. I had read somewhere that the sealant the w/s sets on can dry out over the years. The glass people said it is not leaking around the w/s but through a body seam that runs down the pillars on the side of the w/s. They recommended I take it to a body shop and have them repair the seams. Their explanation was the flexing of the body, without a roof to reinforce it, causes the seams to open up. Has anyone else encountered this problem? And does this sound like a plausible explanation? Should I take it to a body shop? I am new to this discuccion group. Thanks for the help!!!!
