    ***Update***
    Rear window gasket was damaged and the entire window was replaced under warranty. That's what Toyota deemed was the problem.



    So Ive been hearing a sloshing noise in the cab of my truck. In the rear. I was doing some cleaning and noticed a box of bandaids I had was soaked. They were in the little space behind the rear seat where the access to the cab mounts are.

    I popped off the circular plastic cover to the mount bolt and found that the space under the storage inside the cab of the truck was filled with water.

    I took a shop vac to it and was able to get out about 20oz of water. I went to the passenger side and did the same. No water but definitely a little wet.

    I also see a very faint stain on the ceiling where the third brake light is. Could water be getting in and traveling all the way down?

    Appears to be the infamous brake-light-leak that should be repaired on their dime.
    What year ?

    Hmmm. Shouldn't be the third-brake-light up top then, that should have been taken care of on the line.
    Looks like a trip to the dealer is in order.

    It rained crazy here in Phoenix last night, thrashing winds, thrashing rain - gonna go take a hard look at my 2021 now.

    We have been getting a ton of rain here too. I checked halfway through my work day and there was more water in the truck. I vacuumed it all out last night.
