It's was raining really hard Wednesday while we were driving the truck, and one of my rear seat passengers started complaining about getting wet. Upon further inspection, we found that there were cracks in the plastic at the top of the rear sliding window. They were on the insides of the outer two pains of glass. I have no idea when the cracks got there, or how.

Anyone else experienced anything similar? I can fix it easily I think with some black RTV, but it is annoying.

Now, don't do a search on leaky rear slider unless you want the lights in your house to dim and your refridgerator to stop working.

I hope the black RTV works for you, that's the direction I'm heading.

 

Please call customer service and report this problem, the more people the better. They have a little bit of denial going on in Detroit about this one. My experiences with them on this issue have me about one step away from buying a different brand.

I took mine down to a local glass shop and they pulled it and resealed it ($50). Lasted for awhile, then began seeping just alittle out of the cracks. I put some of the black RTV on it and haven't had any problem for about 6 months now. Good luck! If you're out of warranty they generally won't do anything.

 

Thanks for the info.

Did you seal it from the inside or the outside? I couldn't find where the leak was from the oustide, but I can see where it is obviously cracked on the inside.

They used windshield tar stuff (whatever it's called?) for the seal, and then I just put the RTV on the cracks from the inside. So, I suppose it's not a perfect fix, but it doesn't leak inside anymore. (I think some people have more cracks or they are more severe and this might not work.)

 

Please excuse my ignorance, but could somebody
let me know what RTV is? I have the same problem
with my rear window. After a good rain, I will find a few
drops inside, and I would like to fix this. Thanks!
