where do you see that it is wet? I used to have a leak around that area, the headliner used to be soaked. I adjusted the t-tops so they pulled down tighter and that fixed my problem. Of course if you have a t-top car lol

I had that Problem too, for me it was the weatherstripping.

Are the tops of your back seats wet when it leaks?

You can adjust the holes where the pins lock into, just loosen the screws and lower them a bit. It also helps to keep your weatherstripping armor-alled or something similar.

Sounds like an adjustment in the hatch itself
