Where is it leaking? At the top or from the seal?
I will check my records because the previous owner who I bought my 968 from just had the whole rear glass replaced not long before I purchased the car. I will find out who he used cause it looks like they did a great job. No leaks and it looks like a clean install.

Les purchased a new hatch... he didn't replace just the glass
I just did a reseal on my mom's 968 hatch. I followed the procedure on Clarks-garage.com and just figured out some parts myself (the parts involving the wing).
My dad is a contractor and glazer, and he did autoglass for like 10 years. He helped me (read: I helped him) fully separate the glass from the frame, clean the old sealant, and apply a new bead of sealant (urethane).
I know lots of good autoglass places here in the city and in oakland, but I can't think of one in SJ. I'll ask my dad and get back.

SF and oakland still in an hour drive its not the big deal, If they are really good.
I forget to order a rubber trim. hope next week I can get it and go to fix the hatchback.

Sorry David. I can not find the information on the rear hatch replacement. If i get the chance to talk to the previous owner, I will ask him about it.

I know what you wrote, but either way Les would have had someone still install it for him along with the new wiper motor and all. But I can not find a receipt for it. He would have either taken it to a dealership or to an indy. So in case it was an indy then they might have been a glass shop. Just trying to help the man out with his rear glass replacement.

Gotcha... thought maybe you had just overlooked that I had said something and were still trying to find a receipt for a glass replacement... which you'd have difficulty finding.

The glass has been glued today. it was leaking from the top trim.
I will update the result after the glue dry.
