Leaking rear window
Hi I have a 944 but the top of the rear window has come away from the tail gate frame & is now leaking. Any one have any suggetions on how to repair the seal or how to get the window out to rebond it in place?

Well to be honest mate it might be easier and cheaper to change the tailgate depending how cheap you can get one for! Some sell them for £50.00,some for £100 but fixing the one you have could be a difficult and messy job.Maybe JJ will be along soon to tell you of his experiences as he repaired his tailgate but it took him some time and loads of hassle if I remember!

Re: Leaking rear window
First you need another tailgate unless you have a garage as it takes awhile. Can't find my old post on it. If it's only stuck in with stickaflex you can cut it out. Takes ages to clean the channel out completely. Really only worth doing if you can't find a good one locally. Nobody posts these you have to collect! Be warned there are tow sizes for the rear wiper. So you need one the same unless you want to delete the thing.
