    windows are leaking

    I just bought a 98 camaro a few days ago and just washed it for the first time yesterday, then when I got in the car, there was water on the inside of the windows and doors. The windows were up all the way and all. Anyone know of anything that can be done to stop them from leaking?

    Oh and there are no ttops on it. I hear ttops leaking is common, but its definatly coming from the windows

        Do you hear any wind noise when you are driving at highway speeds?Like between the windows and where they meet the top.

          i havent really noticed much wind noise, but i usually dont really look for it

          also, i pretty much always drive with the windows down a bit, its been hot lately

                Did you pressure wash it? It's gonna leak a little bit under pressure, that's completely normal. Just dry it up and continue as normal.

                  its probably around $100-$200 to do all your weatherstripping... you could try to condition it with something like this for $9

                    Conditioning won't work if he's already leaking. You can run a bead of silicone behind the weatherstripping to make it stand up more again. That would probably be your cheapest solution.
