Its beltin it down and my car seats are soaking.

Water appears to be leaking in from between the rubber seal and the glass about half way along the top of the passenger window!!

Anyone any ideas how to sort this, the rubbers appeared to be in good nick the last time I looked and I clean the rain/drain tubes regularly (the leak is nowhere near them anyway)

Looking forward to a soggy arse in the morning!

Grrrrrrr.

Tek your seals off and pump them full of silicon sealant. Wait for them to dry and pop em back on. Job done. Tho the seals look ok, they'll have lost the ridigidity to the rubber over the years.

Don't use expanding foam, it makes a right mess.

Cheers mate, I'll give that a go when I get back from my hols!

Tetley, this might sort your problem too. We can go halves on the sealant!

lol better order a crate of the stuff, iv had a simular if not same problem. Got it on both sides. Appears to be leaking from the rubber joint halfway across the window.

How do you clean them. I never do my drain points, should have a go really

We could have a "window leak technical evening" lol

I clean the drain holes with either net curtain wire (bloody hard to find these days, nobody has nets anymore!) or garden wire.
Both have worked equally well.
