I've had water leaks on the window frame of my Jeep CJ7. What you could do is get a can of windex or equivalent that comes out foamy. Spray it on the outer seal of the windshield and use compressed air to inside. Don't spray the entire seal, spray the area where you're ready to use compressed air. The canned air may not work, but from a compressor it'll do the job.deermjd wrote:I had my winshield replaced a while back and ever since it has been noticeably more noisy. It's hard to notice when the radio is on, but its kinda annoying when I have the radio off. I would compare the noise to having a window rolled down just a tad. I took my Pathfinder to the shop that replaced the windshield. They claimed to have added some extra sealant but the noise hasn't changed. I've noticed that if i push outward at the top of the winshield near the rearview mirror the noise almost goes away. Has anybody had their windshield replaced and experienced a similar problem? Any tips on how to reduce this noise?
LOL that's awesome! You found your leak.deermjd wrote:Its at the top center of the windshield near the rearview mirror. I've already took it back once and the shop claimed to have sealed it. It's been several months since the windshield was replaced. I haven't noticed any water leaking through the windshield. Just trying to see if there is any way to remedy this myself.
The replacement glass has the "AS-" and "DOT" markings.Make sure you get some decent glass. They are not all made equal, and some jobber glass has weird curvature and optical distorsion at acute angles. Make sure it's "AS-#" and "DOT"
My insurance was not used since the cost of winshield replacement was less than my deductible.If your insurance company paid for the damaged glass repair, they could have some pull with the installer. Also, hopefully the glass company is a larger repair shop with something to lose if the insurance company pulls them from other installation jobs, good luck.
