get someone inside, looking in the hatch. Get a hose and soak the hatch....soak it until the person inside see's where the water is coming from. It could be your hatch out of alignment or a crappy seal.

If its not too much trouble, pull ur subs out while doin it. But sickness is right, its the easiest way to track it. What condition is the seal in? If its rough, good chance its whats causing it.

I had the same problem and i fixed it two days ago. Do what they said if its the weatherstriping replace it. Oh but first remove the little piece of plastic from the hatch lid. Mine was leaking where the glass runs into the hatch plate. I ended up removing th elid and scraping off all the black sealant. After that i applied all new sealant. Forgot what it was called but its like a glass sealant. Make sure you soak it in hot water for like a half hour at least. Pain in the *** to sqeese out trust me. Apply the sealant to the top of the valley and the bottom. Youll know what im talking about when you get it off.
