Default Leaky 240

Get in my car this morning and am greeted by an indoor pool in the space where my backseats were. Water is also pooling into the spare tire tub in the trunk. I am missing about a quarter inch piece of molding on the rear window, which could be partially responsible for the leak. I've never had to deal with this sort of problem on any car, much less the 240. Are there common leak issues among 240 coupes? How much of a pain in the ass is it to reseal a rear window? Are the rear window moldings still available from Nissan?

And my front windshield moldings are shot as well...are these still available for purchase? Any ballpark idea on how much these cost?

Sorry about all the idiotic questions. Just trying to get this car sorted out. I appreciate the assistance everyone has given me thus far.

Found two leaks. Top portion of the rear window and top of the passenger quarter. I can see two water trails down the glass now that everything has dried out. So based on the volume of water puddled in the car, this probably means it is leaking from the bottom as well. Fun times.

Looks like I'll be attacking the seals from the inside with RTV. Really don't want to do it the proper way by removing the windows to reseal them unless I really have to. Gitter dun.
