Does anybody have a minor leak at the top seal on the rear doors?

Nope -- I've had it at the top of my windshield after it was replaced, but never in the doors.I have noticed that - now that it's cold - I can hear road noise more from around the doors..... makes me wonder about the seals.....

I had a water leak at the top of my front passenger door the first week I had my Vibe - water rolling down the A-pillar in a heavy rainstorm.When the tech lifted the seal off, a bunch of water poured out, so no need to try and prove the leak! They fixed it for me with no problem - same day I took it in.

Well the dealer found out that BOTH rear window seals are leaking and bad. I told them that much. So they are going to replace them next week when they get the parts in. So I guess it's towels on the back seat until then.

I watertest GM trucks and that is what I see when the doors leak. the door is not making solid contact with the door frame weatherstrip and water leaks by. just a suggestion

Well I just lubed the somewhat dry doorseals and it has worked so far. Better than letting the dealer butcher it.
