Rear window seal on MK2 Supra Thu, 29 May 2003 12:17 Go to next message
Been speaking to a few people about this and these type of cars seem to have a problem with water leaking in through the rear hatch window seal...this isnt really a problem unless i'm driving in really heavy rain or if for some reason i have to park it outside in the rain(usually when i am at work)

Anyways this bugger of a problem leads to rear hatch rust and alot of it, now before i get more than the little bit thats formed so far i'm just after some suggestions on how to maybe re seal the window? or improve on whats there to try stop the leakage

Yes, what a prick of a problem.

Water sits above the seal and slowly rusts away the tailgate below.

Ive got myself a second tailgate because of this very reason.

Remove the glass, cut out all rust, hit with rust convertor and use a wet seal to seal the glass back in as from what i can understand from the TRSM, its a dry seal system.

What do you think somthing like that would cost if i didnt feel confident enough to do it myself?
Assuming the rust isnt *TOO* bad?

Cost less to address the issue now, than it would once you have a hole.

Get a mobile glass company to come over and remove the glass for you, not sure how much that would cost.

Then take to the area with a wire brush where the rust is to reveal the extent of the problem. Then ive found POR15 to be awesome, recommended by JUSTCALLMEFRANK, works a charm. Hit it with that, then get the glass company to come back out and reseal the glass.

I'm taking the glass out of mine by someone, hitting the whole thing with POR15 and repairing the tiny bit of rust I have. When they come to reinstall it, I'll get them to put a better seal in it.
