Wet Windows

[Haribo!]

Tailgate, rear lights etc depends on how and where you park it - process of elimination....

Get a mate to help with a hosepipe or watering can!!

How would the tail gate or lights make this sort of leak? the water would have a long ass way to travel to get to where it is...?

Read the second part of the reply - DEPENDS on where and how ypu park it!!

Also depends on how big the leak is etc etc etc...

I got this bird to sit in the back to check for leaks, it didn't help windows still got steamy 

Have you checked the inner door and see if there is any water at the bottom?

I have this problem baaadd, I bought the car when the weather wasn't so bad so it was concealed but now we have bad weather it is terrible. The thing is I get soaked windows everywhere...rear windows, windscreen, front, & boot lid glass! so I am guessing I must have quite a major leak somewhere. I'm going to start with the doorcards because I guess it's easiest

I did read it ya cheeky bugger :p

I still dont follow, surely it could only make it from the boot to all the way over there if I parked on a hill, and then it would be damp on the way there and my boot would be wet?  My boot is dry, its only wet in the foot wells :p

Not always... My old one was parked on the drive (flat) and the passenger rear foot well was soaking... From the rear light cluster leaking and a pin head sized hole on the rear rubber around the tailgate flange....

Water is a tw4t to sort out just cos its in that place don't mean that's where its coming from - ask any plumber... It finds its way to the lowest point..

If you're 100% sure its not coming from their then its one you can cross of your list!!!

Process of elimination - again as I quoted before!!

Sorry to hijack mate, may help you though, Where do I put the silicone on the rea lights? Do I take them out then line it around the edge and put them back on, or can it be done with them in, pretty sure Both mine have gone. It looks like its been raining in my car now lol!

If you take out the rear light cluster all you do is silicone anywhere there is a lip the clusters fit through the body and you can smear a tad on the bolt lugs aswell silicone is not strong enough to perminatly stick to the threads anyway, but the gasket sometimes warps and dirt gets trapped between gasket and the body i.e full of sh!t to let water drain down.
