Default Rear Window Issue!!! Please read

This morning when I was scraping off the ice on my passenger rear window I noticed that I can physically push my window in about 1/8 of an inch on the bottom left hand corner (towards the drivers door) but it was the only area on the window that would give. I examined all other windows and found that there is no play with any of them. Has anyone had this issue and if so what did you do to fix it. Im concerned about the rubber weather strip keeping water/ice from going inside teh door. Thanks....

Default Well, it's not designed to be water tight...

so you'll find that if water is getting in there...there is a drain hole in the door that will allow the water to escape.

Still, I would get this looked at when you have a chance. There are clips that attach the glass to the mechanical assembly that raises and lowers the glass. Perhaps a clip has broken, or it's no longer attached properly?

sorry that i can't help directly,
but the weatherstrip doesn't keep all the water out.

lots and i mean LOTS of water torrents through the door when it is raining. That's why there are drainage holes at the bottom of the door and vapor barriers between the door interior and the door panel.

i wouldn't worry about it from a water point of view... but maybe from a "what the hell?" point of view. :-D
