Leaking Rear Window Seals

[noisebeard]

I was wanting to get these replaced anyway for cosmetic reasons, but I just noticed today that they actually leak due to their corroded condition. Are there places that specilize in replacing window seals?

I took a picture to show the corrosion/cosmetic ugliness.

I believe your window has to be taken out (actually cut out) as the seal has a "lip" for the window to seat in it. A new seal can then be replaced (back around the window) and "glued" back into the open. That is where your problem will be. If the metal ledge where the seal is set (and glued) into is rusted / bubbled, then that all has to be clean, primed, painted, etc. $$ My front was / is leaking. The quote for reseating the window was $150 but they wouldn't guarantee it against leaking if there were problems with the under lying metal window frame area. Anyways, any auto glass replacement company will do the work.

I got a quote from a glass place here. Gonna reseal both back windows for 100 bucks. I'd rather spend the cash like that than attempt to fix it myself.

How do you figure you remove those bug deflector things on my windows (featured in above pic link). They are ugly and I hate them. I would like them gone.

I just bought this truck a few months ago, and I'm starting to take the steps needed to pretty it up.
