Default Water leak in 91 hatch

I have been noticing a leak everytime i wash my car. It's in the hatch but im not sure where. All I know is when i first open the hatch the outer area around the opening is filled with soap and water. Then i noticed water leaking down the right side in the under side of the hatch tray. Any one have this problem or any ideas of how to fix it?

Check for cracks under the roof trim. The two black strips running front to back. Look for cracking near the back right next to the hatch.

Check sunroof drain tubes for clogs. If you have an air compressor shoot some air up there to clear up clogs

Remove the interior around the leak area. Get inside car and have friend hose car down with water and check for leaks.

Tail light gaskets! They are notorious for leaking!
