Wet windows - on the inside

[alex1]

I know this thread has been discussed a few times, but the threads on the forum don't define what the solution is to the problem.

Basically the problem is that after rain or even washing the car when you wind the front windows down and then back up, they are wet on the inside. They streak and leave the glass smeared and wet.

It isn't the rubber transferring wet from the outside as the internal and external rubber faces are kept apart by the glass, so something is transfering moisture to the inside of the galss within the door body itself.

On the leon forum a couple of people are saying that they have had the problem fixed, but they don't know what the dealer did. I phoned 3 dealers and all say they have never heard of the problem.

So does anybody know what is causing the issue and the what a dealer would need to do to fix it. The car is less than a year old, but I don't want the dealer to start ripping the door cards off etc, without them having a solution first.

Any ideas.

Regards
Al

The problem is known by SEAT Technical, so get customer services to put you in contact or the garage in contact with them about the problem as there IS a fix for it. Mine back in for it, as was not done right first time, seals on inner side transfering water across. Blamed now on leaky windscreen. Would love to know how thwe water gets to rear windows from here!!

changing the inner rubber door seal (on the outside) fixes the problem. SEAT know this already - dealer will do the job under warranty, but for some reason you have to hassle them.

Did anyone get a reference number for the fix?

We had this done earlier this year under warranty - the dealer accepted the issue straight away and its now sorted. They even pointed out the carpet was going mouldy and addressed that too! New dealer - new level of service....
