I have a leak! Help me please.

So my '95 Maxima GLE has a leak at the bend of the [drivers side window](https://i.imgur.com/KEl2IfP.jpg). I had the car's windshield replaced about seven months ago when I bought it but I didn't notice the problem until later because it hadn't rained since before I bought it until well after I bought it. Any thoughts on repairing? Note my Maxima is my project car.

It's my first post on the forums but hopefully I can get my Maxima forum worthy soon enough.

you really need to inspect the seal that goes on the channel and find the leak. a gasket/seal may be pinched or not installed correctly. at the age of the car it could also be dry rotted and need a new piece.

good luck.

Likely the seal is just old and not supple enough to seal properly any more, 4th gens do tend to leak. RTV can be a quick fix.
