Default Water getting in!!

Whenever it rains I get dripping water in my car.

The water is dripping from the Hatch Struts. Where the struts attach to the hatch. Also, I have to keep mydome light cover removed otherwise that will fill up with water. Anyone have this problem?

i have leaks too... my rear hatch lets in a whole lot of water, but im not too sure on how to fix it. i was thinking about just getting another hatch...need one anyways... and then putting in a new seal.

you might want to change the seal around your hatch and see if that works.

well i was just tired of cleaning rain out of my car every time it poured here. I was going to do a write up on removing the headliner cleaning the sunroof drains and resealing the squirter. Hope it helps.

my rex leaks from the air vents in the back of the trunk. Anybody know a fix for this one? I though about sealing up the vents that go next to the hatch (where the hatch rests when closed) but i dont know how to do it cleanly.

I thought it was the "vents" until I gutted the plastics and realized that those "vents" led to nowhere. I DID change my tail lights and gaskets and it rained yesterday, NO leakage. Hmm . . . .
