    I have a 16 Taco.....I've noticed every time I wash the truck, water seems to be going in. Obviously it's gota be the seals, but does anybody else have this problem, and if so, what can be done to fix it. I have the Limited, and dnt like water getting on the leather. Thanks in advance

    I have a 2016 Limited as well, no issues with water leaking in. Might be some badly applied weather stripping on the back window, take a look around for any peeling or moisture

    I've had mine since Sept 2015 and have not experienced any issues with water getting in through the slider after countless car washes. Are you able to determine exactly where the water is entering? Perhaps someone could spray the back window while you are in the backseat. If you can pinpoint the exact location it would help you to explain the issue when you take it in for service. In any event, any leakage around the rear window should easily qualify as a warranty replacement of said window.

    Water seems to be finding its way thru the top of the slider....it evn goes as far as the arm rest getn wet, and that's bcs I have a double cab. As far as how I'm washing it, well I'm not doing anything to intentionally get the inside wet, i already know that area is a red zone for me as far as leaking, so I try to stay away from that area when rinsing it with a spray gun, howevr after the wash, i look in, and sure enuf, there's water at the top of the slider, and a water trail down the seat.....I'm a new member, and I'll post sum pics of my taco shortly. I appreciate all the help

    Spray gun, as in a pressure washer?

    Just me, but I only use a pressure washer for foaming the truck with a foam cannon. Everything after that is garden hose nozzle.

    My suggestion is to try it with just a hose, no pressure washer, and see if you get the same result or not.

    Good suggestion. Also check the 3rd brake light ... another user had the leak coming from there
