Rain leaking into rear passenger/glass window
i was wandering if anyone else has had this problem, i have an 04 lariat extended cab truck with the sliding rear window, but i have a leak somewhere back there.
i have noticed that water literally drips right in the top middle of the window, but around the window is dry. also, the roof interior trim is wet at the corners in the rear closest to the door. i do have a cracked 3rd brake light, is that the reason it is leaking or is there a seal somewhere else outside on top of the truck, maybe around the rear window as a whole?

Yes lots of people have this issue. The water is leaking in from a bad seal around the third brake light above the sliding window.
Either replace light or just seal it with silicon real good and that will stop it.

The issue is with the gasket and that it is just falling apart but I would recommend as you install the new one have some silicon and caulk inside before sliding in the new fixture and the run a small cap glazing bead over the gasket after installation. A little bit overkill but will make certain the problem doesn't return.
