Hi all,

 

I have a small leak on the right side of my windshield. I was wondering if this was a "do-it-yourself" repair or do I need to take it into a glass shop? The glass is not cracked but does have some pits. Oregon in winter is not the place to have a leaky windshield. Thanks for any suggestions.

Unless you are experienced at glass repair, take it to a glass shop and have them pump some flow-grade sealant into to affected side.

I agree! If you just starting putting sealant in there, you may very well just be costing yourself more money down the road. It is possible there is more of an issue there.(i.e. rust) Take it to a professional and ask them to FIRST verify the problem and then ask what it will take to fix it. Make sure they don't just start shooting urethane in there without verifying the problem first. It is a common issue with "so-called" auto glass pros.

 

By the way, do you have a sunroof? If you do, it is another possible cause of a leak that may appear to be the windshield.

No sunroof but I think I am just going to have the glass replaced. Thanks for the info.
