Default LEAKY QTR Window

This weekend, there was really heavy rain, and for the first time, I noticed a leak inside my car!!! The leakage is not bad, just a constant drip, kinda like a leaky faucet. Its in the rear passenger side quarter window. I thought it may be the door seal, but I checked it and its just fine! The leak seems to be coming from the corner where the quarter window meets that plastic "pillar" between the retracting, and quarter window.

Anyone else have this prob??

Help please!

hi,

My driver side window has a small crack and it led the side coming loose. I used JB weld today and it fixed the problem.

If you got full ins. coverage i would just bring it to the glass place (maybe a little cracked) have them install new window with new seal!!!

You know what, I checked the glass, and it is fine! If you look at the quater window from inside the car, there is a small gap where the post meets the top of the door. That is exactly where the water is accumulating! I am going to go to the carwash and cover the outer portion with black tape to pinpoint the problem, then I will just take it to a glass installer. Sound like a good idea??

The car is a CPO, but I'm almost POSITIVE Lexus would not cover that.
