Default Rear Slider Leaking Water

Hello all,
I've got a 2001.5 that I bought new. I only use it when I need a truck so it sits in the garage a lot. The last couple of times I took it through the car wash I noticed that water came pouring in on the the right top of the rear slider. I had never noticed this before. A glass shop told me that the slider was just old and I'd have to replace the whole window. I haven't watched it in normal rain but thought I'd get some input.

Thanks!
Brent

It could be coming in around the cargo lite.

Keep in mind that some car washers use high pressure. If it dosent leak when it just rains, I wouldnt worry about it.

Default Thanks

Yep, I got lucky. I covered the cargo light with duct tape and plastic and drove it through the same car wash as before. No leaks! My new cargo light and gasket are on the way....
