It's your mistake. The rear door lift supports are new, but the brackets attached with the screws are very rusty. You probably bought aftermarket lift supports, and reused the original mounting system. When you reassembled the old gaskets, they allowed water to enter. This is what happens when you skimp on small jobs, you always pay more.
This just started happening to mine this week😢 What a horrible design flaw!! Did you do everything yourself? Or just the prep work and have a certified electrician swap the control unit? Class action lawsuit anyone??
Interesting I have the same issue with my Lexus RX 400h I'm told that the battery is dead because of a lot of water there. Did you change the battery and or what other parts did you get?
