I discovered at 1500 miles my 2004 Cavalier LS had a leak apparent in the roof liner. Took it to the dealer and turns out the rear back window seal was not properly installed and was crimped upon installation at the factory. The problem was repaired under warranty by gm and was fixed to my satisfaction.
