OK, OK:) Seriously, anyone got any idea? My hatch seal is on there and in good shape. I can't find any rust holes in the hatch channel where the water flows. The only thing I can figure is that water is getting into the cavity underneath the hatch channel. The only two ways I can see for water to enter is from the sunroof drain tube (which runs through that body cavity) and the quarter window. I may just go and have the quarter windows resealed for good measure. It just seems odd that both sides have the exact same leak. BTW, I have NOT been driving backwards. My CRX has never been turned all the way to the left or right and never driven against the wind;)
