Rear Water Leak Question?

Hey All,

I have been thinking about the rear water leak problem some people have and I was wondering if everyone who has experienced the problem has the Satellite Radio?

The last time I was in the back of my Jeep I was looking at how everything is designed and wondering how the water could get inside. I don't have that particular issue and I also don't have the Sat Radio.

Could it be that perhaps the Sat atenna is where the water is coming in? That would be in the right location for where the leaks seem to appear.

Have a great day!

Good point. I have the Sat radio with the antenna on the roof in the back and had the rear water leak. When I brought my Pat in to have the leak fixed they found the water coming in from around the rear window washer tube. They put some sealant around it and that was almost two years ago. not a single problem yet.

I have a 2007 with the sat radio and I have been blessed with no leaks whatsoever. Balloonman is right. I believe the rear leak problem has been isolated to the window washer tube seal. There may be some cases where water closer to the front has made its way to the rear and manifested itself at the rear light.

I am wondering if that seal is being affected by heat or not. You guys with colder climates and all. But I may be wrong. I don't recall but I believe it was Oktazcat who had a similar issue but she is in warmer climate...
