Rear quarter window leaking

Hey guys,
I was washing my car (06 C2S) and noticed that drips of water come down the inside the passenger rear quarter window. I tested the driver side and its good.

I've searched topic and this problem has been brought up several times but didn't see any solutions. Anyone have this problem? or have ideas to remedy?

thanks!

I have the same problem except on both sides... just forces me to wipe the inside down every time I wash as well

I couldn't tell you. We only average 8 inches of rain per year

My parking spot is exposed, however, so if it ever rains during the day I will check and see if any marks show up.

I think it's coming from the sun roof. I power washed my car the other day and hit the sunroof seals pretty hard then afterwards I noticed a little drop in one of the rear windows.

I thought about spraying some silicone on the seals of the sunroof to help things seal a little better.

ok...so I power washed the car yesterday and water blasted through the side window so it's not the sunroof. Is this a problem or normal?

side window has bolts on it that secures it to the vehicle, these sometimes back out causing the window to rattle or leak water. Not a DIY and not a repair but rather a new piece of glass is needed so you can torque the right amount for a seal.

Note this is not the only cause, but a common one. I had mine repaired under warranty.
