OK, I am finally admitting that I am being beaten by window leaks! Some history first. Ground up build on a 64 2 dr Biscayne. Body was blasted and all the pinch weld for the windows were then epoxied and primed, then painted. Installed new molding clips, new window rubbers and sealed the glass to the rubber with glass sealant recommended by a glass shop. Wash the car without the SS moldings on yet and both the front and rear windows leak like a mother! Resealed the front windshield and sealed from the body to the rubber. Still leaks! Pulled all the caulk out from the body to the rubber and used a new sealant recommended by a very reputable glass guy (different than the first guy) and the windshield still leaks so we go inside the car and find that the water is seeping in by the clips so we sealed each of those from the inside and at this point it appears that the front is not leaking.
Now the rear. Same deal like the front only this time no luck so we rip it back out and get a new rubber from Show Cars. Cleaned the pinch weld back to paint. Reinstalled the clips. Had the reputable glass guy #2 come and install the glass. I sealed the rubber to the body and the glass to the rubber with the same sealant as the front and it leaks worse than the front! Had a very good old school body man come today to help me figure out what is going on and tried to seal it from the inside but we still have leaks. This is getting pretty discouraging!
The car is completely done and ready to drive less the rugs and interior which is waiting in storage. This is getting really old. So can someone tell me the procedure to properly install glass in this car without getting all these leaks. I am surely missing something!
