Hi mate, I had this issue. The bonding had failed in a couple of places on the rear screen. I noticed water droplets forming in the bottom right hand corner of the screen and some dripping into the boot. The puncture repair kit holder on top of the 12v battery was also full of water. The local Lexus dealer tested the screen with soapy water and an air line. Found 2 gaps in the seal.
I got a local windscreen place to remove and refit the screen. There’s a slight risk of the screen breaking on removal, but the fitter said they did a lot of work like this for the local Merc main dealer and they’ve never had one break yet. Avoid using one of the main windscreen companies if you can, as I found they’ll be 2 or 3 times the price when I was calling round. Find a local fitter with a good reputation if you can.

There was a previous thread on here not long ago about leaking rear windows with various fixes. Seems the rear screen seal gets a small leak in it. One fix I suggested and someone tried was Captain Tolley's creaping crack cure
It can be bought from lots of places on line. I've used it on yachts to fix some pesky water leaks.
Brilliant thanks, I'll try that if I don't have any luck with the main dealer.

Hi lads, has anyone had issues with water coming in from the top right hand corner of the rear window and making the parcel tray and boot wet, also visible water droplets on the bottom right hand side of the window.

If it helps, I had the same on my 300h and the dealer eventually refitted the rear window as there were reports of a batch of cars that were not fully sealed, same year as yours, and that did fix it.

Hi, how did u manage to get the dealer to replace your rear seal ? I checked mine and it appears that the water is leaking in from the top right hand corner. I've contacted my main dealer here in ireland and they said they have never heard of the issue before. Thanks

Thanks. I have full windscreen cover so the window might break some night and save all that hassle. Was going to a sealant people have recommended on here to me 1st.
