Leak in my roof!!

Leak in my roof!!
Its raining here in "sunny" san diego and I get in my truck to find one small puddle on top of both of my amps...luckily its all enclosed. I am at work right now so I cant do anyhting about it. I have towels drapped across both of them. Its coming down in drops on both driver side and passenger side..I didnt have a pic of where exactly they were dripping from but I made the best representation I could...
Its not coming from the 2 back doors, its about 5-6 inches in dripping from the back against the window..you can get the idea from the pic..
what can I do to plug these damn holes!!?

are you sure thats where its coming from?? Not the side doors maybe?
The third break light makes sense because its leaking in the same area on both sides

I used to have a 1995 ranger and the head liner would get wet right above and along the back window IT WAS NOT MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT IN My CASE ! it was the WHOLE window seal paid 75 bucks at a window installer and they took out the window professionally striped off the old factory seal put on new profesional seal put window back in tightened down bolts on the side/top/bottom and no more leak. When they had it out I looked to make sure nothing was rusted from the roof ( seen similar threads about rust spots causing same thing) Now my 1996 head liner is getting damp when it rains or I go threw a car wash INFACT you can see the water stain when it dries, btw this comes out when you clean your head liner I cleaned mine recently and it went away almost 100 percent , so if you have a big nasty stain from not fixing this issues at least the liner will look good again once fixed.Also I popped off my head liner enough to look back in there and there was NO big nasty rust from roof or side pillars.I woulg imagine the third brake light could do this ALSO so you might as well try the easy stuff first! keep us informed of the CORRECT fix in your case!

LOL wow.. 1) glad he fixed it... 2) you still got lied too....
this comment is my fav... first off to get the rear window out is easier then most people thing if only people knew how easy. from the inside is easiest start working the rubber out of its grove and it just pops out and then push on the window and it will fall out.. seal just pops off really easy.. another thing these bolts he tighted down... LOL WHERE there is NO bolts that hold the rear window in.. yes your seal could have been bad, but BOLTS no lol..
there is a reason i put 999% in one of my comments, yes it can be the rear window its just not as COMMON... expecially on newer trucks the rear window seal is usually good. where as the third brake light if there just isnt enough foam on it, it can leak really good and BAD.. back in the www.generation-edge.com days when the 5th gens where newer it was a big problem the third brake lights...

BEFORE i took the 1995 and had it done by a pro , i TOOK the window out and in order to do this there are 4 or 5 STUDS on top and 4 or 5 STUDS on bottom and and two on each side with NUTS on them MORON!!! I tried running a small bead of clear silicone to SAVE money and it worked for about 2 months,then it leaked again,so i had it done by a specialty shop. i will take pics if i have to of the studs with NUTS on them , but i don't think i will have to since you are CLEARLY talking out of your ***!
And look here even the new rangers have STUDS that go threw cab and are held on by nuts

Before you guys go off on each other...
all extended cabs had rear windows with bolts, while regular cabs did not, untill about 98 or so, then all regular cabs AND extended cabs had windows with bolts
my years might be off, but i know for a fact older regular cabs didnt not have any bolts while newer ones did..
Also, my 01 regular cab had bolts and so did the 98 slider i installed in it
