94 k1500 windshield leak issues.

[howella66442]

I have searched the forum and used the search function as well and haven't found anything concerning windshield leak. The leak is coming from just right of the rear view mirror looking towards the front of the vehicle. Is their any fix for this or do I need to ha e the windshield replaced?

It's a 94 k1500 2 door blazer.
Thanks.

Check this thread out. No guarantees, but it's worth a look before you pay for new glass.

Thanks for the reply df2x4. My leak is at the top of the windshield. I will try to dremel out the caulking at the top of the windshield and reseal it.

There's no caulking. The windshield is installed using a special urethane adhesive. If it's letting go, you really should have a glass shop remove & reseal; water getting in is one issue but the other is that the windshield is actually part of the structural rigidity of your cab - protecting you in a crash or a rollover. Yes the glass will break, but before it does, it helps keep the cab from crushing so easily.

Most glass places have a lifetime warranty for sealing the windshield. The best thing is to have it removed and resealed. If you try to use some kind of sealant over the leak, water may puddle in that area and cause rust to form under the windshield.
