So last summer I discovered that my hatch was allowing water in, I have not found the source of this problem but suspect that it is my weather stripping needing to be replaced. However I am not 100% sure on this, has anyone ever had this problem or know how to fix it ?

thanks,

my hatch was collecting water too. do you have a sun roof? if so check the hose that run from it in the back corners

Blow compressed air into the sunroof drainage tubes to free them of any debris and verify repair. Best of Luck!

you find the answer? my hatch is leaking to!!!

check your tail light gaskets

Pull the moldings along the roof and check for shrinking sealant. Mine was allowing water in through there. I just sealed it up with grey high temp gasket sealant and it works. The real trouble areas are right by the hatch hinges, they were leaking bad on mine until I sealed them.

Same story.

Lots of water pooling in my hatch, I could trace it up to the rear seatbelts since I have my side panels out. My tail light gaskets were leaking also but not enough. Pulled the rain gutters(roof trim) off and there was a big rust crack by the spoiler. I just put some clear silicone in and left it like that. I plan to restore both gutters soon.

You'll probably break a few clips taking the gutters off if you decide to do that.
