drill a hole in the spare tire compartment to drain out the water.

your leak is most likely in your window seals, you can either pay to have them fixed or drill a hole

its not smart or the correct way but it will fix the problem. although you may have a problem with water splashing back up through the hole.

The car leaks naturally, if you look. Theres like a little pocket on teh side, for the cabin to breath, if you are running around with a stripped interior, chances are thats the reason your leaking water.

Or the window or tailight seals from the hatch as well.

That breather does not leak inside the car unless you drive thru a flood. It is well tucked into the bumper.
