driver window leaking?

[MyLife]

I noticed my floor on the driver side were wet after it rain. I clean out the window drain holes but no luck. Does anyone out there have the same problem? If so what did you do to fix it? Anyone out there have any idea what to do?

Had the same problem. I carefully drilled a small drain hole from the outside through the existing drain slot into the inner window track. Water was getting into the inner track and had nowhere to go other than overflow the track and down the inside wall. The water now drains back to the outside through the existing drain slot. You can pull up the weatherstripping on the inside to see what you are doing. Doesn't fix the leakage but at least the water goes back outside.

I did the same exact thing.You have to angle the drill bit to get as close to bottom as possible.Mine leak depending on the angle of level,sometimes the drivers side ,sometimes the passenger side.I also have to keep cleaning the weep holes.Its a bad design, my dealer was clueless.I didnt feel like waiting on them so I drilled,work great.Let me know if you need a pic.

JimD, Thanks for the reply, great idea would do that to my. Take Care

Frankie send me the pic on the hole you drilled. Thanks. Great site!!

This is the passenger side, a little messy but you can see the 2 holes I drilled.The green is pollen and the fact that this camera takes good pics.It doesnt look this dirty in real life.Just drill thru that thin channel.On the other side is the weep hole to outside.

JimD and Frankie, mission accomplish. I drilled the holes from outside in, through the drain hole. Afterward went inside pour some water and viola is go outside. Thanks for the tip.

My was already done when I bought it new from the dealer. I guess all the hurricane at the dealership were done before it when out.

Last couple days we have had crazy downpours up here in the North East.My window drain holes didnt keep up with the rain and I have a soaked carpet.I did raise the front end to channel the water to back.

Once I did the holes it took care of the leak from the window, until i FOUND A CRACK SEALANT on top of the roof. Where the front seam is right above the driver side. Took care of that and no leak. Maybe it crack due to the movement when the rig is getting level. Another reason I am going to use the Eternabond Tape.

Yahoo lots of rain today, BUT NO LEAK.

Frankie if you come up with something new for the window let me know.

I had tried in the past,the stick on rubber gutters.They couldnt channel the water fast enough.My best advice is to keep the weep hole and the window channel clean so they dont plug up during rain.
