I just noticed that the rear defroster wire is pulling on the rubber gasket where the wire comes out from the edge of the window opening on the hatch. I very rarely open the window so the tension of the wire when the window is closed must be enough to pull on the gasket. I do not think it will cause a leak but wondering if others have seen the same issue on their BS?

The seal is the part that the window touches. If your glass is hitting where the wire is, you already got a big leak.

No, the wire does not look like it is hitting where the glass touches the seal. If you follow the wire down from the raised window in the picture you can see It pulling on the back part of the seal that covers the wire clip along the window opening on the body of the hatch.
