1996 Ford Escort Leaking - Windows & Glass


Question: I have a 1996 Escort wagon with a roof rack that has a leak above the windshield - the front of the headliner is getting wet - especially on the passenger's side. The seal looks good around the windshield. I've heard that it's acually the roof rack that is leaking and the water is running down to the front of the car. What's the fix for this? I can't see how to remove the roof rack to take a look - my repair book doesn't cover it. Thanks.

Technican: normally on the ends of the roof rack rails there are covers which pop out revealing the mounting screws/bolts. If this is where you think the leak is at you can seal it with a layer of Permatex at the screw mounting hole. If it is the windshield then it is best to call a glass company such as Lee & Cates auto glass. If you need more assistance you can contact me at upon acceting this response.... ASE Master Tech
Owner: Nope. There are no endcaps.
Technican: only other advise would be to contact your local dealer and ask if you can talk to one of the techs..they are usually fairly friendly.
