Mine leaked some until I checked the gaskets. Make sure it hasn't gotten folded underneath the plastic cap, if it has it'll leak there.

Would pics help to show what I mean? I can go snap some when I go out to the car next (it is in the parking deck here at the university).

He said the seals were good. Is it that tough to read.

They can be adjusted. This thread may help.

clean them. I cleaned mine with weatherstriping cleaner. They dont leak as bad anymore. If i would have cleaned them better it probally wouldnt leak at all.
