96HatchB18

Anyone out there have problems with their 96 + hatches leaking? Every time it rains I get a puddle in the spare tire well. I have tried to figure out where it comes from but the only thing that I can guess is that it is running down the gutters(under the hatch) and coming in from the tail lights ?!?!?!?!?

Any suggestions?
Thanks for your imput

my hatch leaks too. its common problem with 96-00 hatches. the water gets in from behind the taillights.

Same here, there is a plug or something at the bottom of the spare tire well and i just stuck a screwdriver through there and all the water come out.

Had the same problem..it IS coming from the taillights. What i did is used a little silicon sealant on the foam that connects to the back of the light...I also used a tiny ring of sealant around the outside of where the light attaches to the frame of the car...it fixed the problem!...just the lights will be a little bit more difficult to remove...

OK, I guess I will try the silicon trick first. Thanks for your imput guys......Send some pics of your hatches. I always like seeing whats out there.
