sup fellas,
leaks I found yesterday when I washed & waxed my camaro.

1. I bought my 67 camaro with new windshield & rear window replaced & looked sealed.i put molding around both & washed her last nite. I noticed small puddle water front passenger side where dash meets windshield.

2. Inside trunk found two water spots midway up the trunk ( looks about where the rear window ends).

any & all help from the pros would be greatly appreciated. thanks

anyone?
do i yank & have windshield & rear window re-sealed?

 

If you paid to have them installed, I would take them back to the installer and have them fix it.
Side note: Depending on what they used to seal the window, it may break coming out which means you would end up replacing it. If you can't take it back to the shop that installed it, I'd take it to a shop for the repair knowing that you may be into a new windshield in the off chance it breaks coming out.

 

If you can't take it back to be repaired, supplement the original seal with some RTV or polyurethane window sealant. I fth equarter have been replaced, make sure there are not pinholes or seams where the quarter meets the panel between the rear window and trunk. Alos look under the trunk weatherstripping and make sure there are no leaks there. If you have a spoiler, make sure nuts have been properly seals with gaskets or RTV. I have been chasing leaks in my car for 6 years now and have worked on all the areas mentioned.

 

astontibs thanks for the heads-up & where to check. car has been in garage since end may
getting new aluminum heads, cam installed,exhaust welded up,new gages & a few other goddies. can't wait to drive it again & start figuring out the water leaks!!!
hopefully be able to post pics of my SS & my newest project

 

Washing the car with a garden hose is the same as sitting it outside in the rain.
Give the car a sponge bath, and water won't work itself into all the nooks and crannies that you don't want getting wet anyway.
