Default Help! Leak!!

Over the weekend I discovered a puddle of water in well in the rear of the car. The car was sitting all weekend in the rain. When i opened the hatch i noticed that the water was entering the car at the base of the rear hatch window. It looks to me that the seal between the rear hatch window and the rear hatch has failed. Any recomendations on fixing this without having the rear hatch window removed???

thanks.

Are you positive it came in through the seal around the glass? Is it possible that it may have entered through the outer seals? Cheeck to see how the rubber stoppers on either rear corner of the hatch are set. Maybe try screwing them in a bit so the hatch sits on the seal tigher.

I am actually not that sure. Hopefully this weekend I can diagnose. Thanks for your input. I hope it is what you think it might be!!
