Rear Hatch Glass

Has anyone noticed on their '03-'04 that when it's raining and you open and close a door, the cabin pressure pushes the glass out and allows water to leak in momentarily. Is this common to this vehicle or should I take it for an adjustment?

I would take it in to have it adjusted. More than likely the hinges are allowing to much gap.

I do notice that there is some movement when I close the hatch but it does not leak.

Now, my sunroof, that's another matter all together. They're checking the drains today.

My 99 does it at well. Thats a good thing. It means your vehicle is SEALED tight. The only thing is you have remeber to reclose it.

Since the vehicle is new, I'd take it in and see if they can tighten it up a bit. In the meantime, try cracking your front window slightly to relieve the pressure before closing the door.
