Water leaks :((((

hey fellas.

I have a 1990 sw20 hardtop import, and with this torrential rain i have found there is a few leaks, mainly from the rear quater window area. i need to fix this urgently and i'm not sure what needs to be replaced to fix this problem. I cant upload photos atm but i will try for a later time. the majority of the water is getting through the rear vents next to the rear window

thanks

Yeah they can leak from  that rear vent.
Underneath is a flap that lets air out.
You should be able to see where it is leaking if you remove the triangular cover, but be careful not to break the mounting lugs.
 
 

Pull the trims around the windows and windscreen off and put silicone all around it. That will fix it.

You can buy the proper sealant from Autobarn, from memory the name featured numbers.  It doesn't go hard, just forms a skin.

The non-setting windscreen sealant is best but I did mine with ordinary bathroom silicon and got away with it. I loosened off the bolts that hold the window in place and pulled/scraped out all the old crappy sealant. I then pumped silicon in between the window and the frame. After it set, I tightened the bolts back down which compressed the silicon for a good solid seal. Did that over a year ago and it's still good.

cheers everyone, might get some more butyl and loosen the windows off and reseal. 

Carpet on the drivers side somehow got absolutely soaked, so it now has to come out to dry, the smell is unbearable :S
will have to check for leaks while the interior is out
