I noticed that too today, it rained pretty hard (amazing, in so-cal). Does anyone have problems of water gettin into the trunk well when it rains a lot and the car is parked on a very slight incline??

Check where at the back of the hatch. On mine, the glass separated from the metal some, and there was a gap there. I filled it with dum dum and smoothed it out so you can't tell. Not the greatest fix, but it was cheap and it works. Plus, you can't tell unless you look for it.
