Water Leak

christian370z

For the past few weeks, I've been noticing that if I have the Z out at night and there is dew on the car, when I get home there are small drips of water running down the glass from the top of the hatch where it is aligned with the roof. It was nothing extreme at first, but I've noticed progressively more drips coming through. This isn't even in the rain, and I haven't used a hose to wash the car either.

I will bring it to the dealer if need be, but I was wondering if anyone has seen this happen to their Zs before? If it's just something that I can change myself, I'd much prefer that before letting the dealership touch my car.

Thanks in advance!

Should definitely be covered under warranty no matter what mods you have installed. They'd probably just put some sealant on the top, but if they mess up somehow it's on them. Plus you won't have to pay for any materials that way.

I know, I just don't want them leaning over the paint and making a mess of the car by splashing water all over it. If I could do the fix myself, that would be ideal but at least it's covered by warranty.

Could this possibly be from water collecting underneath your antenna?

You guys don't have rear wipers otherwise I would blame your rear windshield washer

That's a good question, but the antenna is on the roof and there is no connection to the hatch. Here's a picture to show where it's coming from, maybe it's just condensation in the black area above the glass? Those are the water marks from the dripping, I have no idea how long it's been like that.
