Rear Quarter Glass Water Leak

Searched but did not find anything. Has anybody suffered this leak? Any idea on what it could be or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

If they had to repaint near the upper part any real shop would pull the glass btw dealer does not have to disclose damage on new cars due to shipping under certain price depending on state and its based on like 9 dollars an hour for the repair

Yeah, that I wouldn't be able tell, maybe it was replaced, but it looks exactly the same in terms of condition as the other side (doesn't look newer). I would have to disassemble from the inside to try to see where the water is coming from.

Thanks

Regardless of how or when it happened, that's the issue. The right way to fix it is to remove the glass and reapply the black sealant around the window.

I believe its coming from the rain rail on the roof.

I took apart the whole interior of the car and the glass is perfectly sealed, I can see water dripping after I hosed it with water and it looks like it comes from the roof

I saw what I believe are drain tubes there, it would suck if that was it, since where the leak appears to be it is impossible to reach..

Thanks for the suggestion, will check on the FSM how to reach those drain tubes.
