    Ive noticed water in the bottom passenger side of the very back window before but I figured it was fine. Ran through a car wash yesterday and there's water gushing through the very bottom passenger side back window. So I'm thinking I need some assistance here now. The first picture shows the corner in which it's leaking from.

    Now! The other bit of info I have is that the seal for the window just above that spot doesn't look right to me. Take a look at the pictures below to see what I mean.

    I could really use some help here. Any help you guys can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I don't really know. Never paid much attention to mine since it doersn't leak that I'm aware of (my xtra cab windows do a bit when I'm spraying them off with the water hose, but not in the rain that I've noticed). You're welcome to come over and look at mine if it helps. :thumbsup:

    Looks like your seal is unsealed. For some reason it has jumped the metal lip. That rubber needs to flip back over the metal lip. I would start at the top and with a plastic device (just something to stick in there). Slowly wrestle that rubber seal over the lip.

    I gave it a shot today. From the looks of it, it's been like that for years and years and years. The sun has completely baked it. Looking for someone that'll replace the seal for me now.
