try putting some rubber conditioner on the seals, and also run your finger along the seal to see if you can find any cracks

Mine doesnt leak but i havea gap between the window and the seal and get bad wind noise. Still havent got around to fixing that but i wonder if you have something like that going on but leaking.

i didn't notice a gap and i don't have the wind noise but it could be something like that. I guess i'll try the conditioner thing first.

i second the antenna..... pop the rear top trim panel out and see where it is wet. it the wetness goes towards the antenna then its the cause. if it stays towards the base of the headliner it is the hatch.
