Anyone have any idea where it's common for rain to leak into to the rear of the car from the right rear area other than the rear light cluster area? I've removed the right rear interior plastic panel and took the spare tire out and done some testing. I pulled the right rear light assembly and convinced myself it's not leaking through the seal around the light housing but put some silicone around the seal and put it back together and retested to find it's still leaking but perhaps not as much? It seems like the water is running down from the roof or upper hatch area of the car and settling down into the right rear area behind the light assembly then pools and eventually runs into the spare tire well. I've been pouring water over different parts of the car and waiting to see what happens but no obvious single area seems to point to the root cause yet. I'm looking for ideas! This car has a lot of the problems others have seen. Door windows won't roll up any more and the engine cluster LCD is totally shot. Lots of creeks and groans when operating. It has character! Looks like I'm going to turn the garage into a work shop over the holidays and do some repairs!
