My rear hatch leaks back where the shocks meet the hatch. The water comes in between the hatch and the seal theres no holes in the seal and it's in good shape. Any one else have this problem?

You can try and rub some kind water repellent gel on the seals. I justed used some valsoline and mine stopped leaking. I've heard this also works of T-tops.

 

I had this problem too, but now its fixed. On the outside of the hatch (with it closed), look at where the body color painted metal at the back of the car meets the glass. Down in that crack there is a seal that is usually dry-rotted and doesn't work after years of changing weather. The water is most likely coming in there. Run a thick bead of clear silicone RTV sealer between the glass and metal all along the edge where they meet to seal it up. make sure to seal it all the way down to the sides, but wipe any excess off ASAP. Hope this solves your problem.
