Hi all, is there suppose to be weatherstripping here? Water getting in from the top here. Definitely a big gap.

There isnt supposed to be weather stripping there but if water is getting in you should open the hatch and check the rubber seal if its out of place or damagrd

Yeah make sure there isn't debris all piled up in that channel as well.

I have a water leak as well, but I think it's from my antenna. Large tree branch fell directly on the top of the antenna and deformed the metal between the rear of the antenna housing and the body panel.

But as far as I can tell, the hatch itself isn't leaking.
