    I have a couple of leaks from my windows on my ARE DCU, the water is coming in between the rubber and glass. Best way to seal this?

    Try tightening the screws on the inside window first. If they’re loose, the seal will be loose. Always good to check that every once in awhile

    Will the window pop out when all the screws are removed? I’d like to take them out when I paint

    Maybe if you drive with the screws out, but no it shouldn’t just sitting there.

    Yes, there is at least one thread in here where someone posted some good pictures of rebuilding their windows.

    Have someone on the outside holding the window so it can't fall- they're very expensive to replace.

    I can't remember the user but I want to say he had "rebuilding" in the thread title and it was a white shell he completely rebuilt.

    I completely removed the window from the cap today, pulled the rubber out of the frame and discovered the window is leaking where it is glued to the frame. I poured water onto the glass and let it settle on the edge where it’s glued to the frame and it dripped from the opposite side. The pic is where I poured the water.Not sure of a fix yet
