Each time it rains I have been getting 2-3 area on my rear window where water is dripping down the inside of my rear window. Anyone else having this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

showed service manager, they set up glass "specialist" to inspect and then replaced the rear gasket.
took several weeks for process start-to-end. rear gasket is easy to self-replace.

I've had the same issue, but haven't taken it in to have it looked at. The gasket seems like it's in good shape so I don't have a lot of faith that they would be able to fix it. I'm interested to see if you find a resolution.

I have the same problem of water dripping inside the back window when it rains, along with the annoying rattling sound. Not sure if they are related. Havenā€™t contacted the dealership about it because they keep the vehicle too long for repairs. Was hoping it wouldnā€™t continue and finding another solution for the rattle.

I posted this in another thread several months ago:

As the weather started to get a little colder, I noticed the that the back window started to rattle a little over bumps as well. I applied some silicone lubricant spray to all of the seals and haven't had any droplets and/or rattling since.

It may be worth a shot! I think the seals may have been sitting in a hot warehouse too long and got a little hard.

Hi, I have this issue too. Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try this out.

I just had this dealt with... Heavy rain and I noted three to four spots where the water was leaking inside the window. The gasket looked okay except that this one spot where there was it seem like a little warped, so I brought into the dealer and they replace the gasket. It seems that it's worked so far! We've had some rain and there's been no leaking...

All I did was clean it well with a wet rag. Then apply several coats of silicone gasket spray lubricant. After that it has not leaked at all.

I usually treat all my cars at least once a year. Keeps the gaskets healthy and prevents rotting.
