Dodge Xplorer Rear Window Leak
Thanks for checking my post guys and gals. I have been battling a rear window leak now for over a month. I have used sealant around the outer edge of the rear windows and this did not stop the leak...

Window leaks have taken down a lot of RV's over the years.
I once removed my conversion van window which was not leaking for another reason, and when I returned it I used the original flattened gasket and caulk. Started leaking after the first time I drove it.
I had to remove it again and buy new foam weather stripping which I crushed flat re installing it. I trimmed the excess what squeezed out and made a fillet with caulking( tape both surfaces first), then I paint over that. The paint eventually cracks, and I clean it, sand it lightly/ tape it off and paint on another layer before the rainy season starts.
Dang another thing to add to the list.
I don;t know about your explorer windows, but consider the possibility that the leak is starting higher and collecting on the window where it drains
