Expert Repairs for Leaking Auto Glass
Water entering your vehicle through the windows isn’t just annoying—it can cause lasting damage. From rusted floor pans and stained upholstery to shorted wires and bad smells, a leaking window is more than a cosmetic issue. Our auto glaziers will inspect the glass, seals and frame to pinpoint the source of the problem. We'll then reseal or refit the glass using the right adhesive and sealing techniques to restore a watertight finish.
We handle leaking windscreens, door windows and rear panels on all types of vehicles—from family sedans to work utes, trucks and hot rods. Whether it’s a persistent leak or something that’s only just started, we’re here to fix it properly the first time.
What causes car windows or windscreens to leak?
Leaks often result from worn or damaged seals, poor glass installation, body movement, or impact damage. In tropical climates like Cairns, constant exposure to sun and rain can cause seals to shrink or crack. Water can then seep through the gaps around the glass, especially in corners and edges. Identifying the exact source of the leak is essential for a lasting repair.
Can a leaking window be repaired without replacing the glass?
Yes, in many cases. If the glass itself isn’t damaged, the issue usually lies with the seal or installation. A technician can clean and reseal the window, apply fresh adhesive, or replace faulty rubber mouldings. However, if the leak is due to a crack in the glass or excessive wear, replacement may be required.
How do I know if my window is leaking?
Common signs include water pooling on your dash or floor after rain, a musty smell inside the car, wet carpets or upholstery, or visible condensation near the edges of your windows. You may also hear wind noise while driving if the seal is damaged. A qualified glazier can inspect and test the area to confirm the leak source.
