3rd tail light and the rear window seal on 94-97 suck because the window sucks.. **** the top left and right of the seal where the roof line comes to together

Had same problem. Ended up replacing the OEM rear window with a one-piece window and no more leaking.
Only way I was able to identify the leaking area was to remove all the interior panels and have someone stand in the bed with a hose spraying water on the windows and rear brake light.

Taking a close look at the back window;
I see the silicone sealant on the end cap of the track is cracked... it kind of looks like opening the passenger-side pane all the way has repeatedly knocked the end cap until the sealant broke and it has now moved out of the track by about 1/8".
So my guess is water coming between the panes (or into the track from the outside) is running out the end of the track, rather than the weep holes.
As the truck has aged, the back window has become harder to open, and does bump firmly at the end of its travel.
More silicone to be applied on the weekend, and we'll see if that does it... I'll clean the weep holes also.
Any suggestions for freeing up the travel (make the window panes less sticky)?

Well, I found the leak. It's pouring here tonight, and I went in the truck, and found the water coming in from the rear.
The truck has a sliding rear window, and as far as I can tell, there is a piece of hard weatherstripping that is broken/worn away. It's coming in from the driver side, running to the corner of the window track, and dripping down behind the rear seat and running onto the floor pan.
I'm glad I found it, hopefully I can fill in the area with clear silicone and stop it. I'm going to do it tomorrow, since I don't have my caulk gun at home. I will report back when I get that done.
