After I got my suburban back from the body shop I noticed water in my spare tire well in the back. After looking a bit more I found the leak around the rear passenger cargo windows. Anyone know what the deal with the seals?

I used a bit of Storm Blaster over the top edge of the seals on the outside because I had a couple of drips coming in. Seemed to work. I heard the seals may be hard to get to replace. I never researched it further. Just got out the caulking.

Welcome to the site.

If the rear 1/4 windows or back cargo door windows leak, its a good chance the seals are just plum dried out and should be replaced. Remember these are 30+ years old.

U can obtain replacement rubber from metro and several other sources.
