Rear glass, when rains, leaking lots of water into trunk

After I had Safelite Glass replace the back or rear glass, now when it rains I have lots of water in the trunk. As this was under warranty, they removed and replaced the same piece of glass with a new seal and caulk all the way around the window. However, it still leaks. They said they thought it was due to the seals around the screws being old and loose. We tried it with a garden hose, to isolate the back window, so I know its not from the sunroof. I'm not sure where exactly on the back glass the water is coming in, but I think its in the lower border of the glass, the side closest to the trunk. Any suggestions on how to fix?

those idiots tooks 3 weeks to properly fix my front windshield. they put cheap plastic molding on that when i went driving down the highway, it blew off. i insisted they put the oem metal/rubber molding back on and my ins. company agreed. take it back and tell them you want it fixed the right way, or give you your money back.

The black lining on mine that they put all around the window, appears to be rubber. I dont know if its high or low quality.

more than likely, it's some cheap aftermarket molding they used. put up a pic or 2 of the molding and trunk area where it's leaking, i guarantee it's not oem molding and they should fix and put proper molding ( oem ) back on.
