Coupe owners - window water entry - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Hello, replaced my upper door seals and the front and rear outside window scrapers today. Then washed the car. I am noting water coming in between the window and it's seal. Not necessarily drips, but definitely moisture. I did see drips in a few spots, but I think that was due to capillary action along the butt joints.

Just curious if coupes are prone to water ingress along those seals even if new... Pics to come.

Usually my coupe will not leak in a rain storm, however water will enter if I force it in with the hose. It comes in where the seal meets another section of seal.

There is an adjustment for the window, five pdf pages, too large a file to post, but if you can get hold of an FSM, it's 72-195.

Here is what Im getting:

There is some "capillary action" at the butt joints. Ill use some or-ing glue or similar rubber adhesive compound to tighten them up.

If it is just due to directed hose spray, no worries, but I am getting a tiny, tiny bit of wind noise at the front butt joint where the fat rubber hits the weatherstrip front section.
