Models:
1992-96 Cadillac Seville/STS - Built Prior to VIN Breakpoint 806000
Condition
Some owners may comment on waterleaks from the rear door side glass area.
Cause
The glass run channel has the potential to fill up with water and over flow, resulting in water intrusion at the front or rear of glass at the upper corner of the stationary channel.
Correction
1. Remove glass run channel and check for loose or stripped retainer screws.
^ Lower door glass to full down position.
^ Remove glass run.
2. For stripped screws, remove screw and fill hole with 3M(R) Strip-Caulk Sealer, P/N 08578, or equivalent.
3. With center punch, locate new screw location for new screw near stripped hole.
4. Replace stripped screw with self-tapping screw, P/N 11509153.
5. Inspect upper rear corner of glass run (see Figure 1).
6. Replace the glass run channel with P/N 25650731 (RH) or 25650732 (LH). (Use care to fully seat channel.)
7. Lubricant may be needed to ease installation of glass run channel into lower run channel along door glass.
