If that don't work buy some internal guttering from a hardware store and connect a pipe down through the floor.

Don't forget the sky hooks and while your there get a bubble for the sprit level.

Your right and since it's ok for "me" to say it, I'm such a **** sometimes
)@*$^_@^_)^@^_@$

(no Gator it's not ok for YOU or anyone else to say it)


I just went out there with the house (lunch time) and ran it on the roof very slow as if it was rain and the water is pouring in
which is dam near impossible to believe since I made a gasket out of 3 layers of Silicone and there is NO opening's any more UNLESS it's getting in through the 3rd Light, I DID NOT Silicone that ???? Hmmmm


#1- Ok where can I buy a complete window and gasket set up ?
#2- Can I use a later year window ?
NO ONE touches my L but me so I want to fix it meself

Only 1 prob, My way of keeping full coverage on 2 very nice vehicles in NY is
$1000.00 deductible and NO GLASS

I would very much like to buy that window from you Sir if you think it'll fit and it's a better
choice than a 99 window
rob3832@hotmail.com

I assume all you have is the Glass Mat ? I hear people speak of improvements made in later years,
does anyone know WHAT YEAR and WHAT CHANGED ???
Is the difference the Gasket and Frame for instance then maybe I should be looking for that ???
Or is the difference the Glass itself ? or or or ???

All I know is when I ran the hose at a very soft and light flow right on the roof to window
frame area above the pass seat, in a matter of seconds water was POURING in dripping from
the headliner and hitting the pass seat. MEANWHILE as I continue to say there is layer
after layer of silicone and the bead is good and fills the entire area in so I dont see how
the hell it could be coming in so quick and so fast ??? WTF ??? OR as I said before I totally
overlooked the fact it's all coming in through the 3rd light area where there doesnt seem
to be a gasket (now that I remember when putting it back on)

Just for the sake that I have to know tommorrow at lunch time I'll put silicone where the 3rd
light meets the window frame. There is def a gap there and today when I pointed the
water in that area it came in quick and fast too.

One would think there a frigging 2" hole up there with how quick and fast it comes in,
yet I did a REAL GOOD job Siliconing it and see no-where (cept the 3rd light area) where
it could come in.

An example of the FINE WORK me and Sili did round the window...
(it was still wet so it's shinny in area's)
