Leaking rear window 300sd w126
I have my interior dismantled for cleaning and when I was working in it during the rain I found water dripping down the "pillar" (?) in the back, where the backseat seatbelts twist back into. its the rear window seal. Crap. What do I do now? I was thinking of getting some black caulking and just going over the whole thing but then I realized that I'm trying to restore this car, and that'd look like crap. Plus, the rubber is all cracked to hell anyway. Has anyone tried caulking it? Id probably do so but I cant even lift the rubber up to put caulking under it, it would just snap. I found a window seal on ******** for 50 bucks, is this something I could do myself? Ive heard the windshield needs to be done by the pro's, but the rear is easier. What are your thoughts? Im wondering, do I just pull the seal out and carefully take the window with it, replace the window and seal, and stick it back in? Do I need a special glue? How hard is it to get the rear windshield out without breaking it?
