Have a weird issue I can't figure out... the rearmost floor area behind the third row by the back hatch is really damp. It's been dry and not from rain I know. Never noticed it before and don't think it's the third brake light housing. The only odd thing is the AC suddenly lost freon and I recharged it... I didn't notice the dampness till after I recharged it. Now I'm wondering if it's a freon leak from the rear AC unit. The dampness is more on the LEFT side and not the right side closest to the AC unit. Pretty sure the AC lines are on the right side as well. Anyone else experienced this or had a rear AC leak? Any other ideas?
 
yes, just noticed this the other day, but its been raining like CRAZY here in the Mid-Atlantic...wasn't a large spot, maybe size of a fist by the very rear
 
could be rear sunroof drains clogged or i've also heard the "belt moldings" under the rearmost windows can leak
 
UPDATE... Poured some water over it and looks like it's the rear hatch seal OR the back window itself. Will need to remove the interior trim to see for sure.
 
UPDATE UPDATE... Did it again more selectively and it's definitely the rear window seal in the rear hatch. You can see it going behind the top left corner and then it drips out on the inside plastic trim and ultimately get to the floor and soaks in the carpet.

Anyone ever replace that glass seal DIY?
