well... the Touring's weak spot is the tailgate. It always rusts. Mine has only minor rust and I have a purple tailgate in better condition sitting in the garage waiting for a respray
anyways for about 2 years there's been water leaking in there, only some times (mostly at car washes, rarely in the rain) and it's always been a bit only
as for the windows, they work okay, I don't have power windows/sunroof. I opened all doors checking the seals but they#re okay, I replaced them a year ago
and the passenger side door lock needs some oil...
