Just went and checked on my truck at the shop that is doing some work to it. It has been sitting outside for about a month and I noticed that the rear window may be leaking. I have the sliding rear window, and it seems to be coming in behind the drivers seat. Has anyone else had a problem with this and if so what is the fix?

I had the same problem with my CC. It was the third brake light. I was told at the dealership that it is a common problem and they replaced the entire assembly, under warranty of course.

I had the same thing also, but they said it was the actual window seal. Replaced under warranty and hasn't leaked since...

Mine was leaking from the slider part of the window.

I hope mine never leaks -- as I have a lot of wiring, amp, and Audiocontrol interface back there.

Go ahead and test it just in case. Spray some soapy water around the seals and brake light, then turn the AC on full blast and see if you notice any bubbles.

My 2011 had the leaking 3rd brake light housing. Backed out of the driveway one morning after a hard rain overnight, water came pouring out around the top of the rear window. Dealer replaced under warranty.
