Default Water leaking in rear window

In my rear window I noticed last time after I washed it that a bunch of water droplets were on the inside of the car on the bottom of the rear window... all doors/windows/trunk/whatever else were shut. Are there any TSB's out for this or has anyone else experienced this - or better yet know how to fix this?

No TSBs,
Probably just condensation.
If its leaking, it needs to be removed and reset.

Has it been taken out before?
Prolly needs to be re-sealed...

I have a few drip marks in the gassing of the interior plastic haze on the rear glass.
If you pressurize the cabin by plugging up the rear vents above the rear wheel wells
in the trunk with some shop towels and turning the blower on high with the outside
air coming in (not recerculate) some soapy water sprayed around the door seals and
rear glass area will bubble indicating a leak.
All windows, doors and the trunk need to be closed up tight for this to work.
The vents are in the trunk area behind the trim panels abone the rear tire wells.
This is the same procedure laid out in the newest leak TSB.

You should still be under warranty, have the dealer check it out if you don't want to mess with it.
