Water ran down the sheet metal behind the upholstery panels and under the rear seat so it was hard to trace.

Rear window installation from factory includes a whole bunch of clay type sealant (under the rubber seal) that also dries out.

Pull the carpets, etc., then use a garden hose and work your way UP the car to find the leaks. If you hose the whole thing it's harder to pinpoint the source.

I bought both seals from Fastlane, had a car window guy R/R both. (Also put in a new windshield..what a difference over the original (with 360,000 miles of pitting!).

Drove through some huge T'storms the next day and no leaks!
