Default Rear Power Slider Leaking?

Anyone had any issues with water coming in? Mine leaked a little when I went though a touchless car wash the other day. It wasn't much and it was a pretty powerful spray. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

I thought mine was leaking too, turned out to be the third brake light. Turk1270 is correct, have that checked out 1st.

Mine leaks if I hit it directly with a presure washer. Otherwise, no issues in rain or driving.

Yeah, that's what mine is doing. It's not leaking when it rains.... just when high pressure water hits it. I bet they all do it. It's not much but water does make it's way onto the inside of the drivers side glass.


..... and thanks for the other tips guys.

I have a leak on both sides of the rear window. I can't tell if it is the window or the seals for the roof. Comes in only when I'm driving. If it sits while it's raining, no water. Drive it, water. Does the 3rd brake light leak appear in the corners or more towards the middle? I assume it would show in the middle area too, not just the corners.

Mine just developed a leak in the passenger side corner of the power slider. I hope it's the light because I don't want to have to take the window out!

I'll post back once I've had it to the dealer.

On mine, the seal had started to separate, I had to take it off and re-affix it with double sided tape. I haven't noticed any leaks lately.
