The air vent behind the rear seat, drivers side, would leak water into the well under the seat. The dealer kept replacing the high stop light seal and it kept leaking. I took the rear seat out of the truck and siliconed around the loose fitting vent which is 1 inch by 4 inches. That finally stopped the infiltration of water into the truck.
