Rear Hatch Window Leak

Got my car detailed today, (pics to follow) when I got back to the dealership, and opened the rear hatch window (I almost NEVER open just the window, btw) water poured out of the 3rd brake light housing. Looking at the weatherstrip, both upper corners are drooping a bit, but I can't tell if that is where the leak is/was or not. Anyone else seen this?

Big surprise, yeah, I've had a leak back there... Back when it was new, first time I washed it, water was pouring in from the window... The weatherstrip was pulling away from the top corners on both sides, so I believe that was the culprit. The dealer managed to get the weatherstripping back in place (but didn't replace it) and adjusted the hatch glass.... Not sure where yours is coming in though, my car was dry around the 3rd brake light...

Had the same problem when I went through a brushless wash. The powerful spray would go between the window and the weatherstrip. Rear window adjustment took car of it. It's been ok ever since then.
