Rear Glass leak

[Matt Naz]

I only have had my 2022 2 door hard top for a day. It rained and water leaked in from the top of the rear glass. Is this common? Is it an easy fix?

Mine leaks only when I open the back while it's wet (like after a car wash or in the rain). Just a little water rolls off the weatherstrip and then streaks down the window inside after I close it - annoying. A quick wipe of the weatherstrip seems to help.

Mine had a bad factory seal (drivers side on the 2-dr MIC), small leak...removed, re-sealed by dealer glass shop

Mine has leaked when the seal was dirty on the top. Cleaned the seal and it stopped.

Mine shows little streaks on the inside but when I look at the weatherstrip it's not obvious where it is coming in. After a heavy rain, when parked facing downhill, the bottom lip of the rear window catches a lot of water and it will come pouring out when I lift the glass.

Same experience here. Can't find an obvious spot where it is leaking but every rain I have new streaks down the inside of the glass and just realized this morning that it pools in the bottom lip of the window. Found out when I opened the glass and it dumped a quarter cup of water on my head lol

Brought mine to the dealer for this - they're replacing the rear seal around the glass. hopefully that does the trick

Yeah, I learned to stand back when opening the glass after a heavy rain. lol

A quick way to check if you have a leak, is climb in the back, have everything closed, and then get a friend to run a water hose all over the back glass area, and look for leaks.

I have a 2-door, and I have also noticed in heavy rain I will get a little bit of water running down the inside of the rear window. Have not had the dealer look at it yet - would like to pinpoint it a little better before I take it in.

I finally found out where it leaks from. The rear windows had the wiper. It leaks from the wiper attachment point, water collects on the bottom of the window, on the inside and that’s what leaks when I open the window. Will need to reseal it

same issue here: the weather strip is detaching, needs to be re-glued. Will take to the dealership soon

My weather stripping was detaching on the drivers side upper channel, I bought some weatherstrip sealant and glued it back myself, was pretty easy and fixed the problem.

I am under warranty, I will have the dealership deal with it. I will keep this in mind for the future tho, thank you TheShark!

I hear you but some of the problem was my own fault, I ran the wires for the Mabett LED Rear Window Lights under the weatherstripping and when I put the weatherstrip back it wouldn't stay attached.
