Leaky Window - How to Seal?

[cancunia]

One of the bonded windows has a leak from the top so that when it rains a small amount of water gets in. The gap between the window & the car body is too small to get a silicone nozzle into so I was wondering if anyone can suggest a suitable liquid type glue or sealer that I can pour into the gap between glass & bodywork to seal the leak?

Thanks

Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure https://www.amazon.co.uk/Captain-Tolleys...B003T6EJ9A works well on fine gaps on boat windows so should do the job nicely.

Thanks for the link, it might do the job but it's difficult to get down to the bonding join between the glass & the body as the window glass is recessed into the body, 60ml won't go a long way so maybe the bigger bottle would be better. I was hoping that there might be something that could be poured into the gap, then set, in a fibreglass resin kind of way.

It is very viscous and would have no problem in running into the area you describe. It can be applied in layers so would build up to a good seal. As said I have used it very successfully on sailing yacht windows which are subject to a fair amount of water being sluiced over them.

Righto, I've ordered some Captain Tolley's and will get a syringe with tube to go behind the window. With the trim off the inside, I'm fairly sure I can see where it's leaking. I did ask a local windscreen co about getting it re bonded & was told it'll be £75 + VAT so it'll be Captain Tolley or a large amount of sealer into the gap.

A quick update, success!

It took a lot of small doses over several days to get the leak sealed. I'm not sure if it was coincidence but I finally got it sealed when the weather warmed up. To get behind the glass I used a short piece of tube cut from a cleaning spray bottle, it fitted very neatly on the end of the sealant nozzle.

Nice one mate, good to see a successful fix.
