2012 Rear Window Leak

[2012beast]

Anyone had issues with water leaks? I recently lemon lawed a 2010 due to 6 attempts to repair water leaking between glass and molding. They tried everything and even put on a entirely new hatch but to no avail. Now after 1K miles, the 2012 is doing the same thing. Its back to the dealership today. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I've got a 2011 Limited.

I've noticed a few drops that have come down the inside of the back glass. But has never puddled. I live in an area that gets 120" of rain a year and most of it in the Winter/Spring. I haven't considered it a real problem as it has been very slight and intermittent. I suspect it is an issue with the design. It is only a seal against flat glass. So the quality of the seal is really a function of the quality of the rubber seal and the pressure on it based on the spacing provided by the closed glass hatch. Any gunk or debris that collects will not help the situation.

I have a 2011 EL and mine does the same thing. Not all the time but after a hard rain or if I go through the car wash. It seems to be right in the middle of the back window where it "crests".

I have a 2013 Limited leaking. It collected in the door so when I open it water comes out.

I also had a 2010 Lemon Lawed for this issue. Has anyone had the issue fixed? If so what is the fix?
