I went to change the seal in my rear drivers side window, thinking it was leaking. Well after I got the side panel off I followed the water path and found the real problem. I HAD AN F'ING HOLE IN MY ROOF!!!!!!
The hole was just shy of an 1/8" in diameter. It was located at the end of the channel that runs along the side of the roof. From the look of it, it's not damage or rust, but bad manufacturing. It appears then the channel was stamped in the sheetmetal for the roof there was a defect in the metal that created this hole. That means this leak has been there since it was made, but I've only owned it since January.
Has anyone else ever found something like this on their X?
I fixed it with a little 50 Year Exterior grade Clear Silicone Caulk. I hope it holds.
