Go check the Honda fit forum and come back and say no leaks

Robert I just had my rear window replaced two weeks ago it was leaking in the same spot as yours the leak also killed the defroster in the back window. Ford dealer said it was the 3rd one they had seen doing it.

If you watch a Japanese plant worker, there focused and not yacking with coworkers, thus less issues with Japanese vehicles and why they always outperform the American plant cars in JD Power. Its reality. That type of water leaks is inexcusable, and guarantee the dealer will say someone didn't do something or failed to install something properly. That's way to much water to get in a vehicle.

That rear glass ASSembly comes in ready to install!! Not the line workers fault!!!!

Funny story, a friend I went to college with works as an engineer for Honda. He said he saw a car getting driven onto a transport trailer for delivery to a dealership with no back window. No gasket either, so it wasn't broken out, they just didn't put it in. And it made it past QC and the guy driving it apparently didn't notice either.

Are we sure it's the window seal? I've seen the 3rd brake light leak in that same spot on this forum.

No. I watched it come in the window and climbed back there to dry it off with my shirt. Only thing with the brake light I've noticed is moisture along the bottom of the lens.
