    My weather-stripping around my back window is deteriorating causing rain to get in.
    Has anyone had this problem?
    Is it something you can do yourself or must take to the dealer? Or someone else?
    If it was one solid piece I believe I could do it myself but since it has the movable middle
    do not want to break any of the mechanism.

    The weather stripping doesn't actually stop the rain from getting in. The adhesive that holds the glass in place is what keeps the water out. same as the front windshield.

    A good auto glass installer should be able to fix you right up.

    Call a few body shops and ask who they recommend.

    Are you sure it is the rear window leaking and not the 3rd brake light?

    The outer rubber molding is not replaceable by itself. The whole window will have to be replaced. As mentioned, betting it is 3rd brake light
