- Mon Nov 24, 2008 5:02 am #80138 I just looked at another hatch here and it didnt have them either. Might just been a northern thing, something to do with snow.

- Sun Mar 01, 2009 9:15 pm #99720 I have this problem too and this is not the taillights. Gravity says it has to be coming from somewhere higher than the leak and its on the side so it is not super likely to be the hatch area itself.

I think it may be coming from the rear quarter windows or the roof molding perhaps...

anyone able to fix this yet?
