I have an 03 GT and the last two times I washed the car in the drive through washer I noticed water coming in on the passenger side window right above the speaker. Then today I went to a different one and it had tons of pressure and it leaked in on both windows in the same spot. It also leaked one time at the top of the window about half way back. WTF? Anybody else have this problem?

Yes yes i do, the water likes to run down the mach speakers... what i did personally was shoved my coat up against the driver side window when it went by, then when it went passenger side i dove over there and plugged the leak... its the best and most permanent way i can think of. they dont leak in rain/snow so thats whats most important

No, not a problem at all. Is your still under warranty? Have them replace the trim if you are.

The Mustang is just like your girlfriend's silk panties: hand wash only

Use spray and wash wand only when absolutely necessary!

Only when I am in a hurry. I would rather wash it than not wash it at all.

No worries, just bust out some duct tape man!


Your is an 03 no? you should take it in if its still under warranty. My dealership replaced the triangle for the window squeak no hassles. That probably where the leak is coming from as opposed to water coming in further up the window...

So the dealer can fix that wind noise on the driver's side? I've got an 03 and it does that too.

I know I was watching horsepower tv or something like that and they had this stuff that went right behind your rubber stuff to push it out a little and that helped stop leaks, wish I could remember what it was.

Mine doesn't leak.

I use automatic washes in the winter. No was am i washing all the salt off my car when it's 10 degrees out.


I use a rubber protectant conditioner on the seals every couple of weeks when i clean my interior out. I go nuts with things like that on my dash, seals and all rubber trim.

Prob why my '88 is still running original seals and leak free!!
