Rear window leaking

    Just wondering if anyone on here could shed some light on the best way to go about getting this fixed.

    Basically i bought i new car a few weeks ago and when buying it i noticed the rear window wasn't the original so was obviously replaced at some stage. So i checked around looking to see if it was letting in water anywhere. Turns out it actually is, just in the top corner of the window. So when it is raining it sometimes lets water in at the top of the c pillar. Does anyone know what would be the best way to go about getting this fixed.

    Can it be done DIY? If i was to get Tec7 or something similar and run it along the window to seal it again, if so would it be best done from the outside or inside of the car

    If not is it just the likes of auto glass or a windscreen company you would get to fix it and has anyone any idea of a price?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah sounds like it wan't put in right.
    Go to autoglass and get a quote. Without even seeing the window or knwoning what car this is I won't even guess.
    Decide after the quote if you want to have a go DIY.

    Ended up just going at it myself with clear tec7. Seems to have done the job and looks clean to. Thanks for the replies.
