Have you noticed damp carpets, foggy windows, or a musty smell in your vehicle after a rainstorm or car wash? These are all signs your car might be leaking water—and one of the most common culprits is faulty auto glass.

While it’s easy to blame door seals or clogged drains, damaged or poorly sealed auto glass is often the real problem. At HV Auto Glass Denver, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to break down why your windshield, side windows, or back glass could be letting water in—and how to fix it.


How Auto Glass Can Cause Water Leaks


Water can find its way into your car through:


  • Improper windshield installationIf a windshield wasn’t sealed correctly during a previous replacement, it can develop gaps where water seeps in.

  • Old or worn-out sealsRubber seals around the glass can dry out or crack over time—especially in Denver’s shifting weather conditions.

  • Cracks or chips in the glassEven a small chip can let moisture through if left untreated.

  • Loose side or rear windowsVibration, accidents, or just age can cause windows to shift slightly from their original position.


Warning Signs to Watch For


Not sure if the leak is coming from your auto glass? Look out for:

  • Wet spots on your dashboard or under the seats

  • Dripping sounds after rain or a car wash

  • Fog inside the windows, especially in the morning

  • A musty or mildew smell

  • Visible gaps between the glass and the frame
