For 1990-2009 cars only
- Remove any trim that might obstruct your view.
- Have a helper inside the vehicle to detect the actual leak point.
- Use a unrestricted water flow (a hose with no nozzle).
- When water testing weatherstrips:
- Begin the water test at the base of suspected leak area and move slowly upward.
- Mark the location of the leak.
| • | Aim the water so that the water falls only on the window side or only on the body panel side of a weatherstrip, or tape across the weatherstrip between the body panel and the weatherstrip. |
| • | Remove the tape and test again. This will help in determining whether the leak is between the weatherstrip and the window or between the weatherstrip and the retainer. |
