Leaking Rear Window

[MJWenrich]

I have been having trouble this year with moisture on the inside of the windshield. Figured I had water getting in somewhere and we've had a lot of rain this year. Yesterday, while cleaning tools, etc. from the interior, I found everything stuffed under the seat was wet. More so towards the corners than the middle. There was mold building on some items. Some stuff was dripping wet. I was clearing it our because I have an appointment Monday at the dealer to try and find the fuel leak problem I recently posted. I have the sliding rear window but only used it once to see if it worked and that was almost three years ago. Anyone else have this problem? Headline appears dry and I have a camper shell on board, which I will remove today to provide access.

Might be the 3rd brake light, and if so, very common. Sorry for your misfortune.

When you look at the third brake light, they have found that the opening is pushed in slightly at the bottom, why they dont do a recall is beyond me, anyways, i was told this about the same problem, I pulled the light out and you can see where the seal is not sealing, so i pulled on the opening out and used a straight edge to get it right, then reinstalled, problem solved.

The rises in the roof on the crew cab also channel water right over the light gasket. It is a matter of when and not if it will leak. I siliconed mine on day two of ownership and no issues. The gasket material is probably the worst material they could have chosen for that application. I did not remove the light to silicone it. I just did a perimeter seal of it so it could be removed later if needed.

The headliner doesn't show water because it is made of something that doesn't show water. It could very well be the 3rd brake light. The dealer should be able to troubleshoot it.

Thank you all. *Good advice and I will print it to show the dealership. *
