Roof leak in back

[kilroy173]

Just had my back window replaced. The dealer f’ed up and replaced the front windshield on accident too so I got a free gorilla glass windshield out of it. Don’t know how they managed to mess that up but I’m not complaining haha.

58 pages later - I bet 2024's ship with the same design rear window and same factory installation method....

I just noticed the same leak on my 2021. It has an appointment to go in later this month, I will see what the dealer says.

After 2 years, the replacement window is leaking. The leak is worse than the original. I'm not going to have the glass replaced again, as the damage to the top during the first replacement was more than I would like to see again, especially since it is now out of warranty

I really think if I ever get mine fixed I'll just have a window shop fill the exterior window gap along the top with urethane like some other members have had done. It'll cause some weird waterfall effect of water from the roof over the window, but probably the most effective fix.

The gap on mine is filled with a piece of rubber vacuum hose, and I don't notice anything weird about the water flowing down over the rear window. I'm sure the water flow is different, but it's an acceptable tradeoff for not having water flow down the inside of the window.

After many failed attempts to stop Leaks in the seam of the rear top and rear window leaks, I took the advice of a local glass shop and ordered seven tubes of Permatex window & glass sealant. I applied it myself, used five tubes and eliminated all leaks. Has not leaked in three years.

Replace it with something else like the breezer window.

Same here and like you was not going to go through the hassle and damage to the truck. The leak I had the second time around was very small so I decided to try the silicone hose around the outside and it has worked now for over a year without any leaks.

Silicone vacuum hose still working for me.

Mine was under warranty, new window put in but I've seen plenty of people fix it themselves. I had to repair the paint around the window myself after the glass company touched up the hard top with gloss black paint with pet hair stuck in it. I didn't want them anywhere near it again. Luckily it came out great after

What specific paint did you use for the black hard top?
