I've had issues with my alarm after rain, I'm guessing rain is leaking through the hatch and getting into the shock sensor.

That's kinda what I was thinking. My car usually doesn't see rain that much so this is just weird

Disconnect the shock sensor which is located on the passenger side rear wheel well under the plastic panel.
