Default Soo, wife drives the TT for the first time in the rain and informs me via cell phone that the driver

side window leaks water. I told her to cycle the window down an inch and reclose the window. The leak stopped. I take the car out when she gets home, drive into a frog choker of a storm and shure enough, its leaking pretty good toward the area where the roof hits the "A" pillar. I did a search on leaking windows and it doesn't look like anyone has had any luck with home remedies. Do I need to seek the assisstance of my dealer?

Thanks!

Default I guess either the window isn't closing properly or that seal has gone bad.....

Default take some silicone spray and wipe down all the seals really well...

I do this a couple times a year as maintenance. It will rejuvinate the seal and hopefully will seal back up. the other option is to replace the seal.

Default I had the same issue with my car...Check the fit of the vent window pillar with the

windshield gasket - The pillar is slightly adjustable. I ended up replacing the gasket on the top the windshield and the leak has gone away. Also check to make sure the drain vent isn't clogged. Hope this helps....
