Has anyone with non-sliding (full glass) glass rear window had to have it replaced for leaking?

I don't remember seeing anyone with the solid glass window complain about it leaking. It's a good solution for anyone who needs to replace theirs and isn't covered under warranty. Since there's no frame there's no chance of it cracking. It could still leak around the glass if it wasn't installed correctly though.

That's what I'm thinking if I can't get mine covered. But I want to make sure it's not a problem first. I've never opening the sliding rear window, I don't think I ever will, so I won't miss it if it is a solution.

There are still the brake light and antenna mount gaskets up there just over the rear window and apparently they have leaked at times.

Yes, that's true. But those are much easier and cheaper to deal with than the rear window.

This could be the seal around the high mount brake light. Obtain some weatherstripping and reseal the assembly.
