PROBLEM

Water leaking from roof and door window area.


CORRECTIVE ACTION

Water test for leaks and perform repairs listed under REPAIR PROCEDURE.


GENERAL INFORMATION

Knowing how and when the leak occurs can help you diagnose the problem. Some leaks are caused by a displaced weatherstrip when reinstalling the roof, others by unavoidable causes. The unavoidable causes are considered nonrepairable due to design of the car. The following is a list of unavoidable and repairable causes of leaks.

UNAVOIDABLE LEAKS

^ When you open the door, water from the roof drips on seat.



^ After you close the door, one or two drops of water fall from the front pillar weatherstrip drip rail.



^ When a high-pressure nozzle, or a self-serve type car wash with high-pressure water is used to wash the car.


REPAIRABLE LEAKS

^ When the car is sitting in the rain.

^ When driving the car in the rain.

^ When using a hose without a nozzle to wash the car.

To confirm that a leak is one of the repairable types, test the car by following the water leak instructions.
