Check your third brake light, they are notorious for leaking.

a bead of clear silicone sealant around everything. That's the only way I stopped all the water.

I took it off I didn’t see where it had water leaking in it I Putnam some rubber sealant that comes in a bottle on the inside of the third brake light it still leaking it’s leaking about 3-4 inches away from the third brake light I put some black tape around the window seal and it slowed down some

i used an entire tube of the clear windshield sealant stuff - not quite tacky like silicone - flows easier and flows into cracks. I need to get another tube and seal around the 3rd brakelight again and the roof seams.
