To be proactive on rear window leak...

I’ve noticed mine has a small leak and feel using the trim cord will solve the problem. I really don’t trust the dealership to solve this based on the 200+ page topic on this site. With that said, what trim tools are you using exactly to get the cord in?  I’d like to tackle this when the weather warms up, but not sure what tools would handle the job.

I use these for a lot of things...this job being one of them.

Thanks for the link. How far did you insert the cord into the gap when doing this?  Will it only go in so far?

You can actually push the cord in all the way through the gap you make...so it takes some patience initially.  I would say that the chord is about 1/2 to 3/4's in...

The member that came up with this has a good photo of it installed on his truck.
