u can change the seal on the taillights, i bought some foam at wal-mart (i&lt;3walmart) and cut out my seals. you can also remove the drain hole in the hatch its under ur spare wheel. gl

If sealing the tailights doesn't work, take a look at air vent below the tailights. You will have to remove the interior rear panel or bumper to see it. Thats where I found my leak.

I had the same leak. It ended up being both tail light seals. GL
