Interior leak?

[Imi K]

I was wondering if anybody ever ran into this?while replacing my body bushings today,when i pulled up my rubber flooring,i noticed slight water on passenger side rear floor area.I proceeded to water test it.I had water drip at the top seam of the rear window.I was thinking it could be the third stoplight seal assembly.Is this a common leak area on a 2004 st?If i stick my pinky finger in the hole near the third brakelight it is moist.any ideas or common leaks?

Yes, it is common. Sealed mine with black rtv silicone.

Does the water make its way to the floor from that leak?mine was puddling on the passenger side under the door sill plate?

My third brake light on my 07 leaked as well. Replaced the seal through a dealership

I ended up removing my third brakelight and using butile tape(black non hardening sealer in a roll)formed a new seal and reinstalled.water tested.no more water leak.I purchased the roll from a body shop supply company.Its made for sealing lights and various body and trim parts.its non hardening and non acidic so it wont cause rust like silicone.
