How to fix A-pillar water leakage - Ep 22 of Honda Civic DIY modification series by Preet Singh

Episode 22 of the series in which I finally solve a water leakage problem in my Honda Civic 2007 India model while preparing the roof to be wrapped.
Background:
During Covid-19 lockdown I had a lot of time on my hands and so decided to use it constructively to completely transform the look of my 13 year old car which had started to look old. I'm a hardcore gamer with Need for Speed being one of my favorite games right from childhood, specially NFS Underground 2 in which I would spend more time modifying cars than driving them. It had been my dream since then to modify my own car but it got sidelined over the years as I got busy with responsibilities that come with growing up. In this series I finally make my childhood dream come true!
In the entire series I have performed every modification all by myself without anyone's help and explained the procedure step by step which makes it purely DIY (do-it-yourself) for the benefit of the viewers who actually want to learn or who just want to avoid a trip to the accessories shop in these uncertain times of the Covid-19 pandemic where social distancing is necessary.
All items used in the entire series have been purchased online and delivered in a contact-less and safe manner.

[@herambkore5677]

A lot of hard work to find the correct area of leakage 👍, good video

[@bhavikpatel2931]

I have maruti Ritz, facing this same problem, not even the showroom guys are able to solve it ,maybe I should try your method now.

[@ticesine6589]

Hey nice video I have same issue , I heard flex seal works great for this too

[@larsenation]

Brilliant job!

[@imran4947277]

Very good bro keep it up 👍

[@chasedunk3278]

Ty from 🇺🇸 it helped me fix my leak

[@kaustubhshewale3405]

Thanks a lot bro🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@aakudev]

Thanks buddy, I have done it like 7-8 years ago the same thing, now its time to re-apply. I wanted to remove the windshield and get it done properly but garages say removing and refitting the windshield can lead to crack in the glass dammit.

[@PreetSinghVlogz]

Yes it’s true, it needs a lot of skill. Most garages don’t specialize in changing glass. There are a few shops who do only glass changes n nothing else. It’s their daily job so they’ll do it properly without cracking it. If ur in Mumbai you can get it done at CST road, Kurla.

[@aakudev]

@@PreetSinghVlogz Yepp I am in Navi Mumbai, will see if can find a windshield expert but they are pretty expensive.

[@PreetSinghVlogz]

Contact this guy - 88797 54699 (Abdul mechanic). He shares space with a windshield workshop. He can get you in touch with them to get a quote.

[@mrguppy1016]

How did you removed the upper weather strip
You didn’t showed..??

[@PreetSinghVlogz]

Yeah I had already removed them before I thought of making this video. But you can search on TH-cam, you’ll get a video showing you how.

[@nishantpal6606]

Same yhi problem hai bhai meri civic me bhi

[@ziaulhaq2533]

i have same issue in my alto

[@hubalahu]

Will you fix the rust too?

[@PreetSinghVlogz]

No, this was just to stop the leakage. Planned to get the rust treated during a new full body paint job.

[@sauravbagri12]

Roof top pati wohi lagye ya new?

[@PreetSinghVlogz]

Same lagaya. New milna mushkil hai.

[@siddhartharay1835]

Sir, I had used m seal but the leak is not completely blocked, I want to try fresh m seal again but how to remove the old one?

[@PreetSinghVlogz]

You need to use a chisel and hammer to break the old mseal.

[@aakudev]

Instead of mseal try using a clear silicone sealer. It moulds into grooves and creates a flexible rubber like coating. Try Anabond.

[@PreetSinghVlogz]

Yes silicone works too but there’s chances of it coming off. Mseal is more durable hence pretty much a permanent fix if you cover all leaks properly the first time.

[@abdulmuqeet6887]

Thats a Temporary fix
For a permanent.Remove the windshield, inner outer panels ad the headliner and do a proper sanding abd paint job .

[@PreetSinghVlogz]

That’s a job for the workshop. This was a DIY fix and it worked pretty well.

[@abdulmuqeet6887]
