Hi Mike:
The windows on my '90 have a bolt through the glass which has a tapered lead
seal around it. When you snug up the bolt, the lead is compressed, and grabs
the glass without stressing it too much. The head of the bolt is outside, and
has a black cap on it that can be pried off with much effort. The bolt has a
one way screwdriver slot in it, so you can't take it off - vise grips work well
here. If the lead seal is not right, get a new one and install it. Otherwise
the water is coming from the glass-rubber joint, and perhaps a new wind wing
seal is needed.
