I still have one leak that is allowing water to get into the car.. (EF8 glasstop)

near the c pillar as shown in the picture.. on the body there are metal sheets that are pressed together to form the body.. Basically it looks like the source of the leak is coming out from those two pieces of metal..

I have searched all around that area but cant understand how the water is coming through.. there are no holes near that source etc.. just wondering if anyone know where it could be coming from.. it is coming from the other side in the exact same spot too..

is the glass top installed with the right sealant? in the right places?

 

it is a factory EF8/SiR

so the glasstop wasnt 'installed'

i have stripped a lot of interior away to find the leak.. and that is definately the source..
i am just wondering how it could get there from the outside

 

After time the factory window sealent can give out, it just takes a bit of a weak spot or some surface rust to start a leak.

Have you water tested it?

You sit in side and have some body slowley run a hose of water across the seams and you will find your leak.

 

is that the trunk jam your showing?? hard to tell in the pic but it looks like your factory seam sealer has fallen apart and its letting water in between the quarter panel and inner wheel housing structure joint up in the trunk jam, i'd just clean it up, seam seal it again and see if that fixes it

 

ok, what you are looking at is top right of the hatch when it is open..

i will just get some more pics to show where it is exactly in a sec

 

OK NEW PICS ADDED

it is not from the rear 1/4 panel.. it is above that..
the thing is i can only see water in the gap in that pressed metal.. as in pic 1

there is no water further up from that point.. no source..
