Windshield leak and/or seal testing

[benIV]

How do I test my windshield to see if it leaks.. Had it replaced by safelite several years ago before I realized how awful they were.

I have a leak and think it came from someplace else, but I want to check the windshield before I put everything back together thinking it’s all good only to get a new leak immediately.

Anyone have a write up or suggestions?

Thanks!

Get a can of glass cleaner (aerosol) shake it up and spray it around the edge of the windshield covering the seal. Now have a friend use a blow gun connected to a compressor along the edge of the windshield from inside the car as you look for where the air comes out and bubbles or blowes away the glass cleaner.

If you don't have a air compressor you can turn on the heater full blast with the windows up and close all the doors and watch for where the air leaks.

Hope my explanation makes sense

Here's a video so you have a better sense of my explanation
