drivers and passenger windows leaking

[faisca]

Both front windows are leaking at the bottom, right onto my speakers. Its not just a little bit either, I took the door cards off to see how bad the leak was and its bad. The rubber strips that sit at the bottom of the window are hardly even touching the windows. Were can I get new ones? Do I need to call up mitsubishi/proton or are the rubber strips something a window repair/tint place can produce?

Thanks
Ash

What car
Try a wrecker

oops its a cc lancer. I was thinking of the wreckers but was a little unsure, I was thinking that most would leak aswell?

 

[Gianni]

Might be very warn. Can u get pics of it might help to tell the condition of it too

 

[faisca]

they are very worn and stiff and they dont press up against the window. Ill get some pics later tonight when i get home

 

[Gianni]

How longs it been like that for. Grab some second hand ones from a wrecker. Cheap as. See if it fixes it

 

[faisca]

Probably a few months but it never rains as hard as it has done these past few weeks in perth so it hasnt been a problem


thats what i was thinking just wanted some expert opinions!

thanks

mine do the same thing and it's not much of an issue what i did was make a plstic shroud for the back. there hole in the botom sill of the door so water pooling isn't an issue either

 

[faisca]

Here are pictures of both sides, I dont know if that really helps.

It used to be a few drops, but we put the hosepipe on the roof and watched the water drip down and all the water went in! It came to my attention because last week it shorted out both speakers.

Were does the plastic sit?

I recon try some new seals get some second handies from a wrecker. Or pm sivart. He works for mits

there i s adjustment on subies to get the window close to the rubbers. and there is a product that panel shops use to revitalize old rubbers. i dont think its kerosene. thinking, thinking...

 

[4piknup]

ahh i remember. tranny oil, or trans stop leak, will make your rubbers soft again. wipe on wipe off.

I took it to see brian on the weekend, he thinks a little bit of silicone will fix it up.
