    I seem to have a leak along the bottom seam of my back, side (triangle shaped) window. When I wash the car, some water gets in the car and flows a little along the rear deck.

    Is there something I can use to fill any gaps between the rubber trim and the glass? I think this is where the water is getting in. BTW, I have a GTB so it's not along the spider top edge.

    Thanks,

    -F

    I have a GTB and I have the exact same problem. I was planning on removing the glass and completely resealing it with silicone.

    I also have the same problem; am very careful when washing because the water tends to stain the rear deck fabric over time. I wonder if a neat bead of silicone can solve the problem, or is it better to remove the glass and reseal. I have two new black rubber seals just waiting...

    All I did was put black electrical tape around the outer perimeter of the glass, barely overlapping the glass and it matches the black surround trim. No one has ever noticed.

    Or, you can take the hard route. Drilling rivets, removing weather strippind taking the glass out etc.!
