Default Water Leak and Interior Damage--HELP!!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/8610/water_damage_1.jpg"></center><p>After washing today, I noticed some "high water marks" on my interior directly behind the rear most side window (C-pillar?). On inspection, I found a few areas were wet from the recent washing. I imagine I have a pretty good leak at the top of the passenger side rear window. What to do?

Eeek. Did you use a high pressue washer, or was that from a normal exterior water hose? If it's from a normal pressure hose, I'd say get it to a glass shop for some sealant. If the car is still under warranty, get it to the dealer.

To clean up the water stains, try a good fabric cleaner.

Now under extended warranty.

Default this may be a prime example of the limitations of extended "warranties"...

most of which are not "warranties" legally at all, but service contracts.

Check your contract carefully, it may or may not cover things like seals around windows: most do not cover this kind of thing.

Good luck,
Jon

Sounds like you've got yourself a breach in the window seal. I'd take it to a local glass shop before it rains.
