Steamy windows

Well i think i've found out my problem. I had the trim off the tailgate yesterday because the rear window wasn't heating up after having oem tinted windows fitted. When i took off the centre section of trim it was full of water. There's wire running through the top of the tailgate which have some foam on them. these were so wet i could wring them out. Seems like waters managing to get into the tailgate from the roof/tailgate line. Anyone had problems with this before? Tailgate seal looks fine and in good nick but might just get another one as a matter of course. Think this would explain why my windows steam from the rear quarters forward.....Think i'll take a hair dryer to it today and see if that makes a difference. Still need to find out fow its getting in though.....
 
I'm sure I heard on the grapevine that water gets in via the aerial on civics. Don't take that as gospel though, and not sure how that would effect water in your tailgate.
