I sealed off the vents that are below the rear cargo area windows. I think this helped produce more cabin pressure. I had front and rear vents set on high.You've really created a very high pressure in cabin, more than I have. Keep in mind this is pushing outward on all seal. The seals are made more for neutral pressure IMO.
What I do not see is roof rack area. Presumably you saw now bubbles around roof racks mounts?
Leak at rear gate light seals, leaks into gate cavity. You'll find weep holes at bottom of gate.
Leak at rear 1/4 light seals, leaks into 1/4 body cavity.
Leaks around gate or hatch seal, can get into cavity. These would first get back edge of cargo carpet damp. Note: Gate and hatch, need a bit of force closing. To get them to seal well.
Leak at door molding or glass seal, leaks into door cavity. You'll find weep holes at bottom of door for these.
Leaks around side doors seal, can get into cabin. These would first get carpet damp by doors.
The LH "A" pillar bottom corner near windshield bubbles, are interesting. This is either a gap in glasses black ploy glue, or hole that should not be open.
I can't say I'm seeing anything, that would soak carpet along side doors.
I had sealed off all of the potential leaks for the roof rack connection points last week. I did spray those areas down with the soap mixture, and none of them produced bubbles, so i think my attempt was successful.
The side door edges of carpet areas aren't soaked like the rear hatch is after rain. They are just the slightest bit damp.
I did have quite a bit of air leaking from this area on both sides. Should I just replace these weather strips?
Some bubbles coming from windshield. I may use some flowable silicone. Can I take the screws out and remove the trim around the windshield, or is that a bad idea?
