Hopefully this is a fluke... but I think my 2010 back window leaks??

So I am not sure when it got wet, but under my Scion cargo liner I ordered, a part of the carpeting is wet... we bought the car in the rain, so it may still be damp from maybe being outside? ORRRR I think when I ran it through the car wash yesterday to get the rain spots off, maybe the dryer or pressure washer somehow got water in through the back door somehow? Anyone else ever get this?

My Focus ZX3 leaked in the side door when I ran it through a car wash, but that was because the door had been in a wreck, and then repaired, and just didnt have a great seal...

There isn't a recall or common problem with this is there? Should I avoid auto car washes? Or could the Cargo Liner be causing the dampness from being hot then cold? SOME ONE HELP ME BEFORE I FREAK OUT!!!?? ahhhhhh...

How wet? Haven't heard of any leaky windows on the forum yet.

I know you have a 2nd gen... but my first gen has the same problem. I always just assumed that it was because of my aftermarket hatch, but who knows?

well it had rained for 4 or 5 days straight.... then soon after i took it to the car wash... so there is no telling... next time it rains i will check the back...

If you want to check for yourself, turn on the hose. Seriously, you sit in the rear; there is plenty of space, and have someone turn the hose on your car. Turn it on full force, and look for leaks. You may want to bring in a flash light to help you see, as water reflects light.

If that gives you nothing, then take out the rear carpet and storage boxes, including the spare. Make sure all the rubber gromets are there. I had a Neon that was missing a rubber gromet from the factory for the rear seat. I had the underside washed in a car wash and my rear floor looked like a fish tank when it was done.
