I was planning on chasing some eletrical grimlins today just guess what it finally rained in San Diego. I noticed yesterday while trouble shooting the rear left tail light that I had rust in the rear drivers console under the jack in the mount. And so I decided to check today when the rain allow up and the jack mount was full of water. So I started looking at the sliding windows and they were full of dirt, muck, and the drain holes were partially chock-full. And then I started cleaning the slider safety.

Information technology was slow going so I decided to remove it from the gap and pull it out partially to make clean near were I suspected the leak. The unabridged aluminum window track was total of minor corrosion and clay under the rubber trim. I used a silicone spray and cleaned it completly virtually the back of the window and reinstalled before the pelting came. I went back out thinking I had solved it since information technology was articulate that water got behind the window at some point. I found h2o once again dripping to the jack and noticed that there were drains in the rubber near the front but not nearly the back for the internal window runway causing water to pond in the rear while the back of the cruiser was lower than the front end. And so I used a hole punch and put a hole in the back window rubber silide next to the drain in the aluminum. The rain came again and I checked again. It drained amend but h2o on the jack again.

I noticed a pin sticking throught below the rail when looking for the leak source. I pulled the trim up at the lesser of the window and constitute that the pins had modest rubber gaskets that were completly deteriorated and a potential sourse of the leak. And then I cleaned up the dirt and wiped off the gaskets. I used some safe gasket material I used to repair my trailer that came in a curlicue. Kind of a gluey sticky safety that I cut into squares. I poked holes through information technology and reinstalled the trim and pins. Hopefully this solved the leak.

Well we had a huge storm in San Diego again and it turns out I still have a leak. Thought I solved the problem. Now it'southward fourth dimension to remove the rear plastic bezel and interior panels. It looks like I am all the same getting a leak from about the rear of the window gasket. Anyone else find a leak hither?

I had a leak at the DS rear slider and I gobbed silicone on the retainers from the inside. This stock-still it. This is a common issue with these vehicles and is well documented on this forum.
