W126 300SDL windshield leaking at top edge
I found the leak : It is dripping from the windshield down on the steering wheel!
Had the interior cover off and saw it drip there. With the cover in place I was fooled for a long time: the cover would drain the leak away to the left and right pillar and get water down to my vent areas left and right side and eat up the wood trim. I always thought the water will come from the sun roof or from the vent directly.... So I need to reseal that windshield. Has anyone removed the exterior aluminum trim around the edge of the windshield. Anything to know? How is the trim held in place? any clips and tricks? Is there a good product to use resealing the windshield after sealing surfaces are open? Martin |

Where are the glazing experts here. I need them.
I removed the top trim, 2 pieces, easy to remove and the edge of glass is open. Quite simply the glass is not caulked correctly at the driver side and pushing from inside will open up a small gap. Bad glazing job done about 10 years ago. I'll try and clean it as much as I can and will reseal with urethan glue... This is just a try and if it fails I fear I need to get the glass out and start all over. But there is hope. Does anyone know what to use as a good primer for the 3M 08609 Urethan sealer? And the question: can the urethan glues be thinned by some magic fluid... In order to get it underneath inside the open gap? Martin |

No leaking windshield specialists here I guess.

werminghausen, try Permatex Auto Glass Sealant from the outside. After it cures spray the area with a hose to check how effectively it worked. I would be reluctant to press too hard on the windshield from the inside for fear of breaking it. Then you would have an expensive repair.
