Default Back window leaks

Knock on wood, I did not have any problems at all, except the hatch window leaks. You see it mostly when using the back window washer.

Not much of a leak, just annoying streaks down the back on the inside.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I have the same exact problem. Mine will also leak once in awhile during a very hard rain. Just little streaks of water running down. More of an annoyance than anything. Thankfully my top doesn't leak.

I had the same problem too, but i fixed it! Go to home depot or somewhere that sells 3M adhevise weather stripping. It has to be 3M, anything else i've ever used doesn't stick. Anyway, buy a roll of 3M weather stripping that is 1/4" wide and has the adhesive on the one side. Open the rear glass all the way up, place some of the weather stripping all the way across the very top of the glass. and your done. I used to get lots of streaks of water on the inside of the glass, and now, its bone dry, never any streaks. Just make sure you get the foam stuff not the rubber, the rubber is too dense and wont form to the factory weather stripping, i didnt try it, but i imagine it would be problematic. the foam is low density and forms wonderfully. Good luck. Sorry no pics, but its pretty simple to figure out, just buy for a couple bucks, Peel, and stick.
