It's not about it being at the top...

Why hate on him for agreeing with a post? So maybe one day.... days, weeks, months, years in the future someone will search Google and this thread will show up. And they'll read this thread and think, "Hmm... a few peopel are agreeing with this... I should try that one first since so many people are agreeing then it might be more likely to be right."

no its not that at all. it's nothing personal towards u or anyone. i guess im just frustrated with the new members lately not following rules, posting threads for just about everything, and not to mention the people who sign up and the first post is a FS one. but this isnt a rant/rave thread so it stops here

I did the hose method of finding leaks and water definitely comes in those clip areas. Even with my bumper clipped in and looking good I had water come in there. I siliconed it up now.

Also, check out the flap thingy behind the trunk carpet on the driver's side rear quarter panel. I think it is for ventilation of some kind or maybe to let water out in case of flood? Well anyway it leaks on my car too. Should I silicon it shut?

Did you spray the hose with pressure onto the places it's leaking? Or did you just let it flow gently over the car?

I don't think there's anyway that flap could leak with the bumper on and such.

my hatchi was leaking in through where the read panel and the side panel join. I had to take out my light as it was covering the little crack. If u have a leaking problem try checking under ur tail light to see if there are any spots where the paint is cracking and try siliconing it up, it worked for me. hope this helps =)
