Wind and Water Leaks

(sunroofs, windows, etc.)
The smoke diffuser was developed for quick
identification of air and water leaks in a vehicle's
passenger compartment. These leaks can be caused
by faulty door and glass seals, windshield or sliding
roof seals, or by misalignment of any of these
components.
1. Park the vehicle to be tested indoors; avoid parking
in a windy environment.
2. Turn the ignition to the ACCESSORIES position.
3. Turn the heater/AC blower to FRESH AIR and
HIGH. (Verify the blower is NOT set to the
recirculation mode.)
4. Close the vehicle's doors and windows. The
cabin of the vehicle is now under a slight positive
pressure.
5. Attach the smoke diffuser to the end of the tester's
smoke nozzle.
6. Press the remote button.
7. From outside of the vehicle, position the tip of the
diffuser about 2 to 3 inches away from the vehicle,
and follow a path along the area you wish to test.
The smoke will linger on the path you are following
until a leak is present. The air exiting the vehicle
will cause the smoke to be disrupted, identifying
the source of the leak.
8. Once you find a leak, mark its location with a wax
pencil or removable marker. Look for the cause of
the leak.
9. Turn the vehicle ignition OFF, and repair the
leak.
