Water in the hatch

[just5_0]

Does anyone know where i can buy a rear hatch gasket? It rained today and water is in the hatch where the spare tire goes and it has runned up in the passenger side floorboard. My drain tube was pinched tho do u think it was bc of that?

Clogged drains are the #1 reason you get water in the hatch. I used compressed air to blow the contaminants out of mine about twice a month and I still get occasional leakage.

I got my seal from jnz a couple years ago. Mine was in rough shape, although it wasn't the cause of water getting in for me. It was my antenna. As already stated the drains are usually why you'll get water in the hatch. Mine get clogged all the time.

Or the gasket for the rear wiper. But there are a lot of threads about this topic. Like a bunch. I know ### I read them all. My reason was a old worn wiper gasket

That maybe why i had water in there, the passenger side drain hose was pinched together and i took and cut where it was pinched and put the hose back up and clamped it down, idk but it ran up in my passenger back floor board did urs do that to? Thank's

Hmm when you lifted up the hatch did water run down the hatch and onto the rear seat and floor?

This exact thing happened to me. In my case it was leaking through the bolt holes of my aftermarket spoiler. If you really want to know where the leak is coming from, put your back seat down so you can see in the trunk and run a garden hose over the rear window. That's how I figured it out.

No i notice the water in the back floor board bf i raised the hatch i took the back seat up first and found water under the seat.
