No so common rear window leak.

Hey, so I'm sure everyone's assumption with this post is that it must be the 3rd break light or crack window frame. I have none of those. been through two hurricanes and both times my driver rear floor is soaked. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from the first time but sure found it the second time around. when water gets into the channel it has two weep holes that water gets channeled out. the culprit was there was a hole on the driver side of the channel that someone forgot to seal with RTV from the factory so water will being to over fill the channel and come up from the unseal hole and start dripping down the back wall.

So how I found it was I filled the channel up with water and watched for a water leak and sure enough it was coming through the unsealed hole. It wasnt a big drip but if it rains all day that small drip will become a big headache

hope this helps someone chancing the uncommon leaks
