Leaking rear slider window....

[OKish]

I think i finally found my source of a wet floor... . i think my rear sliding window is leaking some where... . i have no clue where but it is. i can see a stream of water coming in on the rear of the cab. Any clue how to remedy this problem?

I have had the same problem with my Dodge. During the renos I will upgrade to the 92 style back window ( black window frame ) and hopefully the rubber will be softer than the old 82 that's in there right now. Otherwise I will be visiting the local glass shop for some sealant. Shadrach

Do you have a cargo light? They are known to leak there too.

Remove all your trim back there and look for water trails. It sholdnt be too hard to find with the wonderful Mopar paint of the time.



By the time it's 15 years old, it's time for a new weather strip back there anyway. Most competent glass shops (i. e. not in my local area) should be able to get it for you. There is also an ebay vendor called the weathertripstore, or something like that, that I got my door weather strips from. Pretty good quality and prices. May not be OEM quality (I dont have new OEM to compare to) but a world better than 15year old OEM.

trim? trim?? what trim? i have a base 89!

I see. Well, then, that makes it a lot easier. I've only had one truck that lacked the trim (of 10), and it was a 1990 C&C.
