bump...lil help please

 

bump...no1 has ever had a leak in their hatch???

 

I started having leaks inside the hatch door after I got the Mugen Replica CF Spoiler.. But the leaks so far don't get in my trunk so it doesn't bother. me.. Did you search threads in ephatch.com forum?? I belive quite a few people had this problem.... Do you have aftermarket Spoiler ,removed your Stock one, or modifed your hatch in anyways???

 

stock hatch everything but i do have xm radio and the antenna comes out of top...i took that out to see if it did anything but it hasnt rained since i did that.

 

I don't know, I have never checked that area! I have had a problem with my door locks and e-brake, but not that! Good luck on figuring it out!

 

I have this same problem running down the back window of my hatch like its leaking in on to the headliner and then running all the way down to the spare tire well and i cant find anything all oem hatch. help would be great

 

there are drains on the top and sides of the hatch

they might be clogged?

exactly!! it runs down the glass....there is condensation in the rear break light...

 

Put powder on the weatherstrip on the hatch, ops!
clean the weather strips on hatch an car! ^^
I use like white talcum powder-don't get it all over everything-
close the hatch and open-this should show where there is poor or no seal!
easy!!!!!!!!!!

Might be condensation?
Sometimes I wonder how water gets into cars. It's some sort of mystery of the universe.

no its def a leak, i just cant find it....saw nothing wit the powder idea...still cant find anything!!!

 

This may be hell, but if the dealer didn't find it and you can't. I would suggest strip down the area where you know it's leaking from and have someone w/water hose pour water near that area so you can pinpoint where the water is coming in from.
