Can't say for certain about the back, but I do know that the seal around the
front windshield is notorious for exactly that sort of leak. I wouldn't be
surprised to hear an older rear window seal was doing the same thing. I
finally got my windshield to quit leaking by filling in the space under the
outer outside lip of the seal with 3M Heavy Drip-Chek sealant <*

liquid chewing gum, but once it cures, ain't nuthin' getting through.
