All three could be the result of poor alignment during assembly. The US Honda plants seem to have a real problem with fit and finish. We had a Civic who's hood was so mis-aligned it warped. That was back in 99. Take it in and have them remove, and re-install the glass.

I live in the rain capital - Portland Oregon. Been raining for over 30 days and 30 nights.......Element showing no signs of leaks so far. I say you got some bad rubber. Good Luck.

:evil: Both of my rear passenger windows leaked slightly today after heavy rain all night in Connecticut. Sunroof OK. I will be bringing it back to the dealer for repair and will post the results

I went to the car wash a couple days ago and when I was done I opened my tailgate to be able to stand on it to dry the top and there was a puddle of water inside my Element on the cargo cover. The latch for the sunroof was still dripping. It has rained a few times since I bought my E and no leaks but it is now leaking! Anyone get this same problem or get this fixed?

I went to my dealer and they got my leaky driverside window fixed! They worked hand in hand with Corporate Honda Tech to replace the bad seals. I'm sure when you bring in your E, they should have no problems at all :D

The dealer had my car for 10 days :cry: but they lent me a rental car :D
