liquidiq Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Anyone else see this happening? I get it on both front windows. It's split right where the window meets the seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaycee Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Yup, That's happened on my driver side window too - right where the front edge of the window meets the top of the seal. I was wondering if I should mention it to the dealer or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_hunter Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 You can replace the torn "gusset" piece, and make sure the window is adjusted properly. Looks like it was going too far up and stressing the gusset seal. The gusset piece costs about $40-50. I replaced the one on my wife's Forester (wind noise) and it was pretty simple: [url]http://members.cox.net/craig.hunter/gusset/[/url] CRaig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My '05 is fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken S Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 You should have it replaced under warranty. The gusset on my Forester was torn (from an unskilled window tinter) and the result was wind noise from that area. Craig makes it sound easy, but to replace it by yourself would require taking apart the door. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Just checked mine and it's not split- I hope this doesn't turn into a chronic flaw for the Leggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidiq Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 Wonder if they are going to blame it on the tinter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 [quote name='liquidiq']Wonder if they are going to blame it on the tinter...[/QUOTE] I had that thought too, but mine wasn't split after the tinter was done with it because I went over the whole car with a fine tooth comb to check how the film was laid down on the edges. Of course, I can't prove that and I suppose it's possible that the tinter "stressed" it somehow so that it later split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awdG35killer Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 AAAAHHHHH, mine was fine this morning, then after my tint it looks like the second pic(jaycee) on the first page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
