“Water found in rear compartment and/or rear passenger floor area, leaking from third brake light area and.or rear window. The cause of the condition may be that over time, the center high mount stop lamp (chmsl) fasteners may lose torque and allow water to leak into the rear compartment or floor area. The fasteners may lose torque due to thermal expansion and contraction of the chmsl material”
