Exclamation Leaking rear window?

We finally got some rain today in the DFW area, as I'm sitting at the drive thru for lunch I notice that my back seat has some water in it, just a few drops, but enough to catch my attention... I look up and the water is dripping off the black metal window frame at the top of the inside of the window... I checked the other side, same thing... Has anyone heard of this problem - the rear window leaking?

I did install a sirius antena recently, mounted it just in front of the third brake light, ran the wire through the hole where the brake light mounts, I'm wondering if the water could be leaking in through there?

Water

I've had a few drops get in when blasting away at it with the hose. These trucks don't have the seals they did a while back, nice rubber with felt on it. I checked mine and it's all plastic, they just don't really seal as well. I'd check your attena wire, maybe put on some extra silicone around it and see. Hope you find it.

It's most likley coming in from the antenna, they do leak just as you described. Put some silicon around where the wire runs throught the gasket and it should be fixed.

I noticed mine was leaking this summer after a stiff rain. It use just a few drops but still ****** me off since my 3/36 warrenty period expired back around January.

Mine did the same. Think I fixed it by smearing silcone grease along the upper and lower window tracks and on the rubber seals. It's worth a shot.
