Windshield air leak


I'm kinda' new here, so no idea if similar question was ever asked. I've got 91 Camaro RS. It's got an air leak on driver's side window. Tried using sealing tape, did not work that well. Anyone's got any idea how to fix that?

You can do a couple of things. Replace your seals, or adjust the window stops so that the window pushes against the seal a little harder.

Im pissed, my drivers side leaks a little too much air also, and i tried to adjust the stops the other day, but cant get the door panels off because previous owner stripped allen screws holding the window and door lock instruments.

How do you adjust the window stops?

Josh,

Double-check the screws; some are simply plastic manufactured to look like the real thing--indeed, you will round those out. Use a magnetic, if need be.

Or outline between the weatherstripping with clear window silicone. Since it will be in between the stripping, its unnoticeable and it will make your window shut tighter when it goes up.
