Leaky hatch side window

My passenger side rear window is leaking a bit.

Yesterday, I got in my car and it smelled super mildewy in there, so I went back to look, and there's water in my hatch, this time coming from behind the trim under the side window (had a leaky tail light gasket a while back, too). Searching around for the source, I popped off the little vent thingy on the outside of the window and found that the screw is the only thing holding it on; the plastic clips are both broken, and so it doesn't sit tight against the window like it does on the other side of the car.

Has anyone else had this problem? It doesn't really look like it provides much of a seal when it's on there securely, so I'm wondering if I need to dig deeper to find the leak.

Thanks!

    When it comes to leaks always go beyond what you think the source is. I owned a del sol for two years and live in the PAC northwest. I've run into my fair share of leaks in hondas. It can be frustrating but attempt to locate it. Check all your weather seals and gaskets and replace them if needed. Also a good way to test them after replacement is to run a garden hose over the possible leak area.

    As far as that rear window goes, one thing I do know is that the ventilation port that has the screw in it is used for air flow. I read this in the wagon manual. That might have something to do with it. Hope this helps!
