Default leak from rear side window?

Hi,

I noticed a leak during a really bad storm that a leak seems to have developed in or near my rear passenger side window. Here's a picture:

I know that some of these leaks are not the easiest to track down. Anyone know off the top of their head exactly where to look to fix this?

Cheers
Roman

After scrutinizing the picture, it appears as though the leak may be originating from one of the components relevant to the rear quarter window. I would look at the windshield dam rubber (oem p/n 73526-S3Y-000). It's depicted as ref #13 in the diagram below:

I had exactly this problem. this is not a leak from the window but a leak from the roof. more specifically, the mastic between the roof panels (since the roof panels are spot welded, mastic is used to fill the gaps) has cracked and need scraping out and replacing. there are two such joins - one on either side of the hatch, This is a common fault on the jazz apparently. my dealer fixed this for not very much.
