SYMPTOM/CONDITION

Some of the subject vehicles may have opening vent windows with persistent water leaks. If attempts to seal the leak and/or replacing the vent window assembly does not stop the leak, consult the owner about replacing the opening vent windows with stationary window assemblies. The stationary windows are a direct replacement for the opening vent windows and when replaced, must be replaced in pairs.
