After my 1986 Mustang SVO was painted I had noticed that after I rinsed it, I had water on the floorpan rear seat area. I spent a good amount of time and "thought" the quarter glass was the culprit but finally realized the problem is the pinch weld. Water is entering at the pinch weld on both sides of the car. The driver side is worse (it had the quarter panel replaced many many moons ago and not a great job).
It leaks when water is directed at the quarter window, runs down the glass and catches the lip of the pinch weld and enters there.
Luckily I noticed this since the interior was out.
I used silicone to seal it better and it is OK, especially since the car is garaged and not driven in the rain. I do want to fix this better and correctly though.
Just looking for suggestions...
I was thinking panel adhesive possibly to fill the small gaps and then seam sealer???
I dont know really what the best way to handle it is. I only want to do it once bc the triangle moldings are not the easiest to deal with and dont want to scratch the paint removing/installing them. I want it to be the last time those molding get removed
