- Using a liquid detergent, diluted with water in a spray bottle, spray the window at the edges. Begin at the bottom and gradually move up and across the top.
- Have an assistant inside of the vehicle with an air hose.
- Have the assistant aim the compressed air at the suspected areas.
Bubbles will form in the soap solution at the location of the leak.
NOTE:
The air hose test should only be used on fully cured urethane adhesive. Otherwise, damage to the urethane adhesive bead could result in additional leaks.
IMPORTANT:
The compressed air should not exceed 205 kPa (30 psi).
