Wet Windows

mlambie · 09-09-2009, 09:01 PM

My 350Z had that issue with the rear hatch release but the 370Z doesn't seem to have it. Maybe it'll appear later on.

I've got wet windows too, and had that in the 350Z. Both my window motors were replaced in the 350Z which made me think that some seal wasn't right after the mechanics were in there messing about, but it might be normal enough.

My Silvia S15 had the wet window problem and it was never an issue for the 7 years I had it. I believe its caused by a felt guide that presses up against the widow to stop it from rattling.

Noticed the same thing on mine. Just got my Z about 10 days ago. It's been raining like hell in South Florida. Rolled my window down the day after having it out in the rain & it came up wet. Never had a car do this before.

So nobody can really pinpoint the spot where the water actually gets in.
This is a bit of a worry for all you 370Z owners - this moisture within the door cavity will cause havoc with electrics and it may even cause rust in non-Aluminium parts. I think door skin is aluminium, but the frame is still steel. Hope it gets addressed by Nissan asap.
