Leak rear window

I am started to notice dry streak marks running down INSIDE the rear window(very very little streak marks) after it has rained. This is a problem because some out water is entering inside the car. I have also readed that some people have notice rust on their rear defroster inside Any one else has or know someone who has this problem<br>Charlie Long Island

I'm also on Long Island. Where did you purchase your Trib?<br>While I haven't noticed any water leaking in, I have noticed the wiring for the rear defroster along the back window turning a burnt/rust color. A few of us have posted about that,but so far I haven't heard any answers as to they why.

Interestingly I have the dicolored defroster and last year had a leak on the window. I hadn't put the two together. The leak was very infrequent and seemed not to have anything to do with opening the rear window or anything I could find. I told the dealer and they ordered a new rubber gasket for that window. I never had it put in b/c it came in and they never called. Got the "final notice" when I was out of town. Never had the leak again so I hadn'at worried about it.<br><br>Interesting...

We've had ours better than a year and it dribbles down the inside left of the rear window. Checked the screw and it was tight. Since I HATE to go the dealer, if it gets worse, I'll remove the screw and shoot a bit of clear silicone in there...<br><br>Marty

Mine also dribbles a bit down inside the left of the rear window. We've had so little rain that it has not been a serious problem (also, while at home the car sits under a carport). If/when we do get heavy rain it will be interesting to see how bad the leak is. The clear silicone might be a good approach.

I brought my Tribute from Smithtown/St James Mazda on Middle Country Road

I got mine from Country over in Huntington. I think Orlie bought his from Smithtown Mazda.
