Ive read pretty much every thread on water leaks and have sealed basicly everything from the b pillars back with silicone...washer nozzle, antennae, taillights, all wing mounts, 3rd brake light wiring, rear wiper, removed lower window trim and cleaned/checked for leaks, re-sealed the body seams adjacent the the taillights from top to bottom, drains are clear yet im still getting a small puddle in the right side behind the wheel well.
The frustrating part is after running a ton of water over the car and even focusing the stream in every crevice its bone dry, but if it rains I get a leak. It makes it difficult to diagnose. Im thinking after prolonged rain the hatch window seal is leaking somewhere, when I raise the hatch some water runs out from inside the frame up near the hinge at the top and also down by the hatch bumper. All the trim is removed and it always feels dry up inside the hatch where it would drip and I don't ever see any drips anywhere yet I have this annoying puddle. Nothing is being kicked up or sprayed since the car is just sitting. The inside of the window seal is dry also.
