Rainwater coming from near rear window

Post by GraemeSwann »

Hey guys/gals

Got a 1961 Minor 1000, 2 door

I've got rainwater coming from near the rear window (bottom passenger side corner). I've sealed all the windows and I still have no idea as to where its coming from. There's no holes of which I can see so I've no ideas left. Its under the rear side window frame behind the quarter panel.

You state you have sealed all windows - but what with? are the rubber seals in good condition? I have had a similar problem with my rear window. I used Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack. You have to gently prise the rubber away from the window and drip this in between the glass and the rubber - both inside and outside. Leave it 24 hours to seep everywhere and then water the indow using a watering can. Get someone inside the car to watch for any leaks. If there are any mark where they are and use Tolleys.

Marvellous stuff so I'll risk the wrath of the moderators and give it a free advert : Capt. Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure made in England by Capt. Tolley Ltd., P.O. Box 967 London SW11 3NT, www.captaintolley.co.uk. Well, that is what it says on my bottle! :roll:
