    Yeah glad the water hose worked for you. Now that you know where it is leaking from you just need to get her fixed. I personally have never had a pop rear 1/4 window car so I do not have any knowledge of fixing this but I will take a stab at it and guess that the easiest fix would be to replace the oem weatherstrip for that window....It shouldn't be all that hard to do either. The part you are needing to replace is #2 on the link posted along with the part number in the list with a price(approx) Hope this helps

      Yeah, that's the plan, but the weather stripping that's there seems fine...no cracks and is solid. Maybe it's elasticity is just shot, and it's not pushing back against the window like it should, or maybe the pop-out linkage-thingy isn't pulling it as snug as it needs to be. Thanks alot for the part # info...makes it alot easier.

        No problem at all. I would tend to think that the linkage is probably OK? and the weather stripping is just not pushing against the window like it needs too. But once again I have not had a car with pop out rear windows as mine is a newer model with the fixed 1/4 glass... Hopefully some others will post their ideas on the fix for this to keep you from spending good $$$$$ on useless parts but that is where I would start at honestly

            You'll need to remove your driver's seat, pull off the mouldings on the rocker panel, take out the speaker cover, ans lift up the carpet, get some towels to pull water out of the foam, then prop up the carpet up and direct some air towards it with a big fan. That should dry up the carpet in a day if you take care to wring out as much water from the carpet as best as you can.
