Rear window leak

[ws6guy]

Yeah I'm not huge fan of how the smaller opening looks but "if" it fixes the leak issue then I'm all for it. When mine leaks again I'll take a closer look at this option or just say screw it and put in a non-slider.

I rarely use my slider. If it cracks Im more than happy to take a solid window or a new design that wont crack. This is the Mopar backlite. Plastic and glass just dont expand and contract at the same rate so we get cracks in the plastic.

I was wondering about that obviously its much less expensive to replace with solid glass and solid doesnt have the leaking issue correct?

Insane to experience this problem and find a 45 page thread on it..... Yikes.... Just ordered 3 tubes of Permatex from Amazon and not even going to F with the dealerships.....

3 tubes will do it.
Clean it good, dry it thoroughly and use masking tape.

Well,
Add me to the d@mn list. I fell victim to having a wet headliner today after a downpour. Rear passenger side. Dripping from the corner.

No cracks that I can see. And it’s only one side so I assume it’s not the CHMSL.

Permatex here I come.

Leaking from the corner, been there, done it.
Just do the whole thing, all the way across and down the sides.
edit: just to make sure, check the CHMSL gasket.

Will do. Seems like 3 tubes should do it
