Default damn.. water leaks.. guess where?

So I figured out after wondering for quite a while where the water leak in my trunk is coming from.. there may be another, but the one i found today as it was raining... coming through a CRACK in my ******* rear quarter panel at the crease just above the trunk/window line. how retarded is that? now I have to have it ground clean, welded, and filled and repained... time and cash i DON'T have

another leak coming from both doors... I thought it was the window seal at the door, but that's only half the problem.. each door is cracked where the inner and outer shells weld together.. SWEET! even after I weld them back, ther ewill still be a gap between the window and the window shield.. hopefully a new seal will fix it. I don't need my polk speakers getting wet....

i'll post pics in a bit... anyone ever run into this problem?

I know exactly where you're talking about. You have to pull back on the rain gutter thing, and water will leak in through there. A friend of mine told me about that, but I've just been too lazy to even fix it. Besides, it hasn't rainned much here lately, so I don't ever think about it

Here's where it is on the 5th Gen. It'll just slid right back. When putting it back on, be sure to align them back onto the metal clips under the rubber piece

did that fix your problem on the 5th gen?? Researched awhile ago and everyone is talking about cleaning out your sunroof drains and such. Know anything about that?
