I had a similar leak. The hatch itself was not quite tight enough when latched. I moved the latchpoint inward a few mm (takes a torqx bit) and the leaking has stopped.

@bullitt1516 - I have the same question as @dhminer. Does it have to be driven in order for the water to find its way in? If the answer is yes, put the vehicle up on ramps and spray underneath from front to back. Have the front end much higher than the rear. Also hit the wheel wells. If the...

Hey friends. Seems this topic has been beat to death, but I’m still chasing this water leak. A year later. I completely gutted the entire car searching for it, pulled the entire interior out minus the dash. Had the back hatch apart, rear cover off, tail lights out. I Seam-sealed every clip...

Man that’s going to be awesome haha. I wouldn’t mount it to the underside of the false floor. Maybe build a small platform you can paint and insulate. Screw it down with some L brackets and make sure it’s leak proof. Should be good to go then
