my rear window leaks

I took the carpet out and ran a hose over the roof (actually a friend did it) as the hose was running I ssaw water running down both sides directly under the area of the roof channels. I have a sliding rear glass.

Is the seal on these replaceable? Or should I look more at the 3rd brake light aS THE PROBLEM?

THANKS AS ALWAYS

before you go pull the window look reeeeaaalll close at the 3rd brakelight. I thought the same as you till a closer inspection showed the light leaking into the headliner and traveling to the sides of the window, I installed a brand new from chrysler light and that one leaked. I finally siliconed the brand new light and there hasn't been a drop in over 2 years.

You are correct crazy lunker. I had anothe friend put the hose water on both sieds of the window and no leaks. He then put it directly on the 3rd brake light and the water came in and ran down both sides under the ends of the glass. wow.

Got my new seal today.

thanks
