Pontiac Repair/Water leaking G6

Expert: Todd Puccio - 6/30/2009


Question
My ponitac G6 has a leak that is coming from just under the windshield.  There is a plastic cap that sits underneath the weather stripping.  I poured water at that point and it came running in.  I also have a sunroof but it is not the cause of the water.  I am looking for an adhesive that would be good to use on that area.  thanks


Answer
Hi there:

If the issue is with the windshiled it's self leaking the proper way to fix it is to have the glass removed and resealed. Any glass repair place will do this they basically cut the adhesive between the glass and the car and remove the glass clean the sealin area and put down a new bead of sealer and re install the glass.. Trying to put sealer ove the area that is leaking doesn't work well and they usually start to leak again down the road.. If you do try it you need a urathane sealer not silicone. Good luck :)
