Anyone have any experience with this? I’ve seen posts with water leaking from rain in different spots, but not here. It’s on both sides but thankfully it doesn’t rain in Arizona too much. Any help would be appreciated!

I usually sit inside the vehicle with a bright flashlight, and have someone on the outside pouring water over the area (hose) and look to see where the water is coming from. That should point you in the right direction. Depending on what you find, will help decide the next step.

Yeah I believe it’s leaking through where the window meets the seal on the A-pillar. Wasn’t sure if anyone else has had this issue before.

If it’s coming between the seal and the glass, then it’s either the seal is damaged or dried out or something like that. Or, the glass is misadjusted and allowing water through. I have not heard many complaints of either on here, so not sure which way it would go for you. If, however, the water is coming from behind the panel instead, then there is another deeper issue and will maybe require further investigation.

Being that you are in AZ, I wonder if time has affected the weatherstrip seal where it's dried out or not as pliable as it was. There are products that you can apply to the rubber to rejuvenate or help soften it so it will seal better without causing the seal to stick to the glass. My car is garaged and I haven't yet applied my seal restorer yet which I found on Amazon.

Yeah mine has been garage kept the whole time I’ve been here but it’s definitely a possibility. I’ll check that out, thanks!
