Rear Window Leak

coastietom · 12-11-2007, 01:11 PM

I recently noticed that my Slidng Read Window on my '04 LE leaks, on the passenger side. When I took it to the dealership, they said there was a Service Bulletin put out on that but they were going to charge me for the repair. Apparently, according to them, a "service bulletin" is not a "recall", meaning they wil not fix it for free. Does this sound right and has anyone else experienced this?

That is correct. Service bulletins at any dealer are just known issues that nissan engineers or another nissan dealer has come up with a fix for certain issues. Service bulletins are covered as long as they are covered under warranty. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, But the bulletin is to drill holes in the urathane for drain holes.

I have the same thing. Driver side corner on an '05 CC SE with 20k on the odometer

. Small drip at top. Has anyone had that ridiculous TSB done? Did it work? If it did, I guess it's better than water inside my truck!

I just had my whole rear window replaced because the dealer told Nissan that they refused to drill holes in the truck. Nissan pick up the tab, over $800. My truck was out of warranty at the time with almost 32,000 miles and 4 years old. They did me a solid! Maroone Nissan of Pembroke Pines, Fl.

WOW, that's great to hear!! I hope I have the same type of service because I do not want holes drilled in anything, under any circumstances. That TSB repair is a bullsh*t band-aid repair if you ask me. If you read it, the holes are to let the water out that got in. Here's a f*uckin' idea: let's stop the water from coming in the window in the first place! I should be a Nissan Certified Window Leak Repair Engineer. Come to think of it, I'll go from dealer to dealer until I find one who will replace the window instead!
