Leaks!

So i'm having an issue finding a leak in my car. Awhile back the squirter in the hatch was leaking, so I put a bead of sealant under it, and snapped it back in, solving the problem, Or so I thought.

I have been trying to trace a leak which comes out in a few spots, which I have outlined in the attatchments bellow. I ran a bead of sealant around the two connectors going from the hatch to the body thinking that was the source, but that was apparently not the source either.

Any ideas where this water is coming from? Could it be the rubber pieces on the roof that run from the windsheild to the trunk? Right now that seems like the only possibility, however i'm alittle worried about running a bead of sealant along there... I've ran the hose on various areas but can't seem to isolate where the water is coming from?!

Any help would greatly be appreciated, I swear if I don't find this leak it's going to be the end of me!

Re: Leaks!

I would guess weather stripping. Either on the hatch or the rear window itself. My probe (which has similar rear windows) would leak, so bad that it would start to flap driving down the road. I tore it off and re-sealed it with window caulk. Worked fine.

It it wiper fluid or water?

Re: Leaks!

One way to find the leak is to close the hatch, and have someone run a hose all over the rear of the car. Lay inside the trunk and see if you can pin point the leak.
