After Hurricane Ian hit the Carolina's this weekend, I went with the fam Sunday AM (2 days after the crap) to get out of the house (We didn't get hit bad, mostly just a little wet.) Stopped for the wife to grab something from the grocer, and noticed some water down the back passenger rear window (the one across the back, not the side), right near the edge of the "drip edge" at the top of the window. Part that really throws me is, it also was on the seat back itself. Son is still in a rear facing car seat, so it was a bit away from his foot, but I can't explain, as the wife had the passenger window open a little, so I'm hoping it was just some residual blowing off the mirror, but...

Is this similar to how the 3rd light "leak" presents?

I have pulled the 3rd light 2x to replace the bulbs with LED's. I didn't order the correct bulb for the middle the first time, but wanted to get as much swapped over as I could when the wife will let me have the time.

Good to hear you and your family are ok.

Do you have a rear sliding window as well?

Those who have had the water issue in the back tend to reseal the third brake light well, and the antenna mount if yours is on the rear part of the roof. Some are located on the front.

Tons of threads relating to addressing to this, just enter a search in upper right corner :waytogo:

Yeah, I do have the slider.
I am aware of the 3rd light which is why I mentioned I had pulled mine 2x. I didn't expect the antenna. But I wasn't sure how the light leaked, I just see "It did leak", or "It does leak".
