Rear Window Seal - Help please!

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Washed my car on saturday, and when drying, I noticed that the rear windscreen wasn't drying! Then realised that the water was on the inside of it!

Had a look, and noticed that the water was coming in through the seal around the screen.

Is this an easy fix? Being double glazed, will this be a problem? Something which you can do yourself?

Cheers

Just called the likes of Autoglass up, who said that they could replace the seal for £45, but they need to remove the windscreen in order to do that. But then went on to say that it is very likely the windscreen will crack, so I will have to pay for a new one?!

Might have to resort to a "large stone chip" on the back windscreen, and then get it replaced via insurance.

In our experience, the rear screen comes out relitively easily - its the front ones that are a knightmare. Autoglass may well get it out in one piece, but they won't 'guarantee it' just in case....

We spoke to some autoglass guys when we needed a bunch of screens out - They said they 99% of them out in one piece, but you just can't guarantee it, hence they wouldn't do a 'remove only' service for us and we bought the kits to do it...
