The new rear window is installed. I'll see what happens later this week when it rains.

Looks like there's been an engineering change since my original window was installed. The new window has some sort of internal seal that the original window was lacking, and the frame has weep holes at the bottom like the side windows do.
 
Just to be on the safe side, until the new installation proves out, the dinette cushions will remain in the basement where they will stay nice and dry.

My rear window also had a leak soon after I purchased it over a year ago.  The dealer had to take the entire window out and put in a new seal as the old one was put on upside down according to the repairman.  It hasn't given me any problems since.

We've had one rainy day since the new install, so I went out with some Kleenex in hand to check for moisture around the window. So far, so good.
