Default 1997 s10 mobile pool? (horrible window leak)

alright...so..it rains in washinton...no..it rains ALOT in washington. with that said ive known i had a slight leak in my sunroof for along time, hasnt been a big deal. but today i discovered that my carpet in the hatch is soaking wet. (thats where my sub is!!! lol) so i started taking pannels off to see where its leaking from and i have found the the rear pannel window is leaking..bad..

i was curious if this is a common problem? i havnt heard it before but what the heck why not ask.

my plan is pretty simple to fix it ..culk..lol i might throw some pics on this tommorow so you guys can see what im talking about.

any tips are more then welcomed lol

i would use window sealant it doesnt dry out compleatly so should last longer. if you use caulk or silicon it will shrin over time. the other thing i would try is that stuff on the infomercial its spray on rubber stuff

What..? Nooo... lol

So this is what you were talking about. When i had a leak the only thing i found that would beat this lovely weather was some 3M sealant.

There should be a drain plug in the back right above the exhaust pipe near the bumper. Its a black rubber piece, pull it out and make sure you dont get a blazer supplied bath in the process.
