Rear Hatch Leak

[BillC]

2023 BS OBX 33,900km. Rear hatch leaks water like a sieve, seems to be coming through the top of the glass. This will be the 4th attempt at fixing it. Pics attached of corrosion. Has anyone had a similar issue that was actually resolved?

No leaks on mine, this despite occasional trips through an automatic car wash with high pressure water.

What repairs has the dealership made so far?

It was remounted at the dealer once, then it made two subsequent trips to the glass shop for similar attempts.

Same with mine.

Looks like the dealership should simply replace the entire rear glass assembly including all the rubber seals

There just has not been very many reports like yours (at least not on this forum and various Fb Bronco Sport groups)

Have you or the dealer tried any silicone lube on the seal?

It looks as if it's coming in through the fasteners. The seal was lubed last time it was in, and I conditioned them before the weather got here.
