I just noticed that my 2002 K/R has a drip.

It is showing up on the drivers side, post where the grab handle is.

The windshield has NOT been replaced, I've not hit anything, the drip just showed up.

We've had some pretty good rains the last few days.

I was wondering if the rubber around the windshield at the top left corner may need some sealant?

Ideas??

Thanx

 

You have a leak some where.
Just have to find it.
Good luck.

 

it may be around the window, but you might want to look on top where the seal sets against the roof panel. Could be leaking on top and running down the post a foot to the grab handle area.

 

Just had a leak on my 02 f150 Screw. Turns out it was the sunroof drain hose was off on the front right. It was dripping down on the passenger grab handle. Do you have a sun roof?

 

Yes I do. Hmmm

How hard was the hose to get to??

 

First I would check to see if the drain tubes are clogged. Open sunroof. In the front corners you will see the drain holes. Pour a small cup of water by the hole to see if it will drain. If not use a small wire that is somewhat flexible and push in tube. The tube runs all the way down both pillars and drains out by the rear of front fender. If not you Just use a 7 mm socket to get the grab bars off. Then pop off trim on window pillar. Take off sun visor and clip. Remove top part or rubber door seal. Gently pull down head liner. U should be able to the drain tube and nipple.
Goggle your problem and you will find some good pics and plenty of advice. Fairly easy job. Good luck.

 

Safelite came today, they removed the door seal, and looked, and in their opinion, they found that some of the sealant was NOT there in the top corner of the drivers side.

He showed me the "lack of sealant".

BUT, after C Braves Win so kindly suggested, I took a piece of weed eater line, and ran it down the hole in the moof roof area, THEN, I took about a 1/4 cup of AWESOME, and HOT water and ran it down the tube/drain area on both sides.



The water ran right out of the bottom of the truck.

Under warranty, Safelite replaced the windshield. They said, "This is the only way they know of to prevent any future problems". So, now all I have to do is have the strip replaced.

HOPEFULLY, the problem is solved.

I am considering finding a small nozzled air blower, and blow out the lines on both sides.

Think this would be adviseable??

I want to say thanx to all who replied !!!!!!!! THANX !!!!

 

I would be careful using much more than 10psi. You might blow the tubes off. If its draining then I would leave it alone. Good luck.
