Default LR3 roof leaking

Hi I've got a 2006 LR3 HSE 4.4L V8. It appears that the rear roof glass is leaking on my truck. Not the sunroof, but the aft section of glass. Any tips on this? A shop once said they performed a test on the tubes and said it was fine, but it was also a questionable shop, so idk. They said it didn't leak. But its like every time I go through a car wash (I don't anymore because paint) it leaks and can just like start raining inside the car. Help pls?

It's the seal around the 3rd brake light.

It's sealed in place like a windshield, so an old one can dry, crack and let in water. Also the 3rd brake itself could be the culprit if cracked

nice, I figured it is an actual glued seal. Any links to diagrams for this or any videos?

May not be the recommended method but this video gives a way (only if you get a new light)


Most people get the light replaced by a glass shop. I believe you can put some sealant around it without taking it out but dont quote me on it

So it actually leaks from the front section of the glass roof, just over the 2nd row. Do you think it still could be this light/seal leaking?

Ah, that's probably something different then.

Either the rear sunroof drains or the glass roof itself

so are there diagrams of how the roof drains are routed? If it’s the roof itself, I could just ask any glass shop to re-glue it? I wouldn’t want to risk prying that $1800 piece of glass off myself, lol.
