leaking sliding window

Hi all, After suffering the classic VW flush fit window leaky horror stories that we all know about I took the plunge and decided to get a local reputable camper converters to install a pair of THQ new generation flush fit sliding windows. After feeling pretty happy that I'd seen the last of my...

Hi folks. As part of my ongoing conversion I am replacing both leaky side windows. I am going to use a cheesewire type tool to remove the old windows. This will leave a residue. How do I remove this residue and how long should it take? I am fed up of waiting for a fully dry day and want to crack on.

Hi everyone, I have noticed that there must be some sort of leak on the rear driver (RHD) side sliding door of my 2016 Caravelle. It is fine in rain, but after I power wash the van or take it through the carwash, there will be some damp on the driver's side blind. I do not wash the van often...

Could any members on here who have had their T6 slider windows replaced under warranty [ or not ] because of leaking be so kind to let me know if they replace the entire side window [ fixed piece + slider window ] or just the slider window itself ? It will help in ascertaining whether VW were /...

Hi All, I’ve just had the leaking side windows replaced in my 2019 Kombi for the 2nd time and VW seem to have fitted non tinted windows in place of the previous tinted units. I have checked the codes between the glass previously fitted and what is in now. Previous glass had a V above the E7...

Wanted - Kombi sliding window, cheap / free. I want to do some tests with alternative window seals and possibly improve the latch and drains. Preferably nearside, standard VW tint if possible. Not too bothered if it leaks. Cheers.

I have a 2016 Cali Ocean. Both side windows are leaking - pretty much accepted that this is a reality of the design. My actual question - is the limited amount of water that gets in a problem? Sliding door side - water runs over the plastics and lands in the lower step bit. Don't think this...

Hi All, I've got a '17 plate T6 204 with Twin Sliders with flush fitting sliding windows. Drivers side rear sliding window has been leaking since I purchased it from Listers in June. Various delays with Listers (incl. lost paper work?!), has meant that it's only recently gone back in to get...

VW T6 OEM sliding window leak.

So I decided to strip the sliding windows of my Kombi in an attempt to prevent the considerable leak that had been occurring. Anyway drainage channels were clear and it appeared the bonding along the plastic rail was failing so ran a bead of silicone in there. Giving the now removed sliding...

Afternoon Volksfriends, I hope you're all keeping well. I'm not having much luck with my T6.1 so far. On day 1, the barn door opening mechanism failed. A month in, the front drivers window started leaking like a sieve. Now I've got water coming in through the top of the sliding door past the...

Hi all, just wondering if the rear sliding window's in a factory kombi are part of the mot?.... I sealed mine shut as they were leaking.....cheers.

So I picked up my new 6.1 Kombi this week from Breeze VW. The list of problems I have discovered since collection is endless, mostly down to an incompetent technician and very poor salesman. The most recent discovery is that both side windows are leaking, the windows have never been opened!! I...

As I'm working from home and not using my van much, I thought it would be good time to fit some side windows. Are the windows on the T6.1 different to the T6 and have they solved the leaking issue. It looks like the opening us much larger than on the T6

Hi everyone - not sure if this belongs here or in a special section for sliding window leaks, but... We just got the sliding windows replaced with plain windows, as they were (surprise surprise) leaking. But we're having all kinds of trouble getting the interior trim that goes around the...

Confused.... The weather has been terrible here last 7d and just found a pretty significant amount of water in my sliding door. Seems to be pooled at the top of the door behind the reinforcement strip. When I took the door card off (I have a loc8 table) the carpet on the card was soaking...

Hello all, This is my first real post other than to say hello as a new member a few weeks back. As I am the proud owner of a T6 kombi which I have wanted for a very long time, I was somewhat irritated to find when I took it to have the rear trimmed out that water had been making its way...

think the dealers here are useless Two attempts at drivers door and it still leaks and the sliding window in the sliding door which has water marks on it they can’t find I’ve had all seals done on the drivers door, any idea where to go next? Wind noise is horrible from drivers window too

After reading various threads I understand that the OEM flush windows have had problems with leaking. I also understand that there now aftermarket ones available and have found a few via searches. My question is what are the best ones?

Like so many other folk, my factory kombi rear windows leak when it rains. Refusing to accept that the only way to resolve was to take it back to the stealer, I set about stripping the window out to figure out what was wrong. This will have several posts in order to get it all in due to the...
