Default driver side c pilar leaking

driver side c pilar has a leak. rained for hours last night and now my headliner is wet around the driver side rear. i had taken this in for repair about 2 years ago. I had taken it in twice while under warranty for this same issue. now the leak is back and i am about 20k miles out of warranty. if i take it back to the dealer and tell them that they never truly fixed it, do you think they will fix it with no charge?

20k miles- I'd guess no warranty repairs even on prior complaints.

Default Uphill battle, but if you can provide prior service records to show it is the same problem.

You may have a case they never properly fixed it. My guess 20k ago they'll chalk it up to wear and tear.

Default Same Problem

Had the same problem. leaked in exact same location. dealer fixed under warranty. it was sunroom drains.

in your case, all repiars are guaranteed. i would say that this is a defect and that you had it repaiured 20K ago. i would push hard. **** should not break within a years time.
