After heavy rain I noticed few light water drops in the corner of the rear door glass, when I pushed it, more water came out...


I have this trouble on both rear doors. But my rear door's glass was tinted...

So, could somebody without rear door's tint check this out?

Sure it was condensation that somehow collected there? Sometimes when I wash the car in the hot summer the insides of my windows fog up.

If not condensation then take it in to the dealer and get it fixed. You should not have any water coming inside the car from rain, car washes and so on. The last thing you want is for the water to be collecting inside your door and possibly shorting out power windows, speakers, or causing corrosion in the door. When I first got my 06 used I noticed that when driven through the car wash the moonroof was letting water in...it was under warranty and the dealer verified the issue at their wash, had to re-align the moonroof and replaced the gasket...no issues since.

My warranty is ended.
I dont think it is condensation, because there no signs of it on the entire glass, water is coming from the bottom rubber.

I've disassembled one door to check it, the rubber around glass has drain hole on the bottom, it is clear, on the metal part of the door I saw signs of water... So, seems like the rain water gets between the rubber and glass, most of it drains down to the door (it is normal, door inside is ready for this) but some water goes up on the interior part of the rubber...

P.S. My friend's Mazda6 '05 have the same problem, but again, he also has tint on the glass.

So... could anybody check this?

The only thing I would suggest is have someone outside hosing down the car while you inside check out the window. Push lightly against the glass, the seal around it, the door itself, etc and see for where the water comes through.

GL!

I know where it comes from, I want to know:
1) Does anyone else have this problem?
2) Does this problem occurs even if rear windows are not tinted.

Mine definately does not do that. Is that window removed when its tinted?

Some prefers to remove it, others dont... mine was not removed
