leaky headliner
 
ok so recently my headliner started leaking.. most of you from Texas (north Texas) more specifically know that this past summer was record setting for thunderstorms and rainfall, it never leaked then.

now if we get a good downpour it leaks at the rear windshield.. the headliner at the bottom next to the windshield gets wet, the back wall gets a little wet, the seats (drivers especially) gets real wet (where the seat meets the seat back and on the sides of the seat back), the floor gets small (the size of a coffee coaster) puddles, only under and behind the seats in my reg. cab


ok so i checked the 3rd brake light, really know evidence to show its at fault

back windshield, no, and how would the water get on the back of the headliner if it came in thru the rear windshield

these seams on either side of the look as tho they may be the culprit, so i tape over them after i dried out the truck and let it sit in the rain again, i brought it in and it was WET! aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

anybody, ANYBODY!!!??!??!?!?!?!

my 3rd brakelight leaked. took it off and cleaned throughly the light, gasket, and the top of the cab where the light meets it. waxed all the metal well, reinstalled the light,torqued it down firmly, and waxed again all around it. hasn't leaked since.

P.S. - I dont know what part of Texas your in but it has been raining since like 2 p.m.
