Well guess the window moisture wasn’t from all the rain and humidity we had a couple weeks ago. I rinsed it off today amd saw a drop of water on my rear seat near the headrest on drivers side. Well the backside of the head liner is damp and the material behind the seat is damp all the way to the carpet where it’s fairly wet. Both sides but mostly drivers side. So now to figure our what’s leaking. 3rd brake light or sunroof ughh… lol

I guess I would start with the notorious third brake light! Hope you find it.

I think there are quite a few 'how to" if you have to remove the headliner, but lets pray its your 3rd brake light seal.

Yeah i pray that its the issue. Ive taken a few headliners out and they’re not really fun to do. Lol

I have 2 fans drying it out right now and when i get a second I’ll remove the light.

Are they’re supposed to be trim pieces that go across the roof in the channels ?

Chemical guys has stuff a bit safer for disinfectant on automotive stuff. Since you’ve done it a few time already you should be ok with that dilution. I just worry it’ll eventually weaken the leather. Sorry, I’ve been a detailer for 15 years. Lol. Looks clean though and piney fresh i bet.
I've decided to take your advice, not going to use this on the seats any longer or the steering wheel. Your advice was backed up when I was reading cleaning care instructions on new leather seat bottoms on the internet. Thanks bro.

Idk if it can be seen but there is a bit of water near the screw hole area and the seal it damp all around it. Inside the cab part is dry. Maybe cause ive waited to long and the fans dried it. Ill rtv the light and check later to find out lol

have you ever had your rear window replaced? mine wasnt sealed properly and caused all kinds of damage, yet it looked only like a few small drops of water
