If you own a Toyota Tacoma, you might be dealing with a problem of a leaky rear window in your vehicle. This issue can often be easily resolved. Start by inspecting the weather seal that runs along the edge of the window frame. The purpose of this seal is to keep out wind and moisture, so if water is seeping into the interior through the window, the seal may be worn or damaged. Replacing the seal typically costs between $40 and $80. If you notice a gap between the window glass and the frame, you will need to remove the window and re-install it. For small gaps in the seal, you can apply sealant to fill them.

As an American, I would start by conducting a precise water hose test to pinpoint the leak's location. I would carefully spray the window, excluding the suspected joint area, to see if water is escaping from a different spot than where it entered. If there's a gap between the slider glass and the window frame, removing the window may be necessary to repair it. If there's a hole or opening in the window frame, applying some sealant should solve the issue. The weatherstrip on the slider has a complex shape, so it's possible that it may be damaged in the corner area.
