Rear hatch leak
#3
If you're not equipped with a roof rack, check the weatherstrip for tears and cuts.
An old mechanic's trick to see if the weatherstrip is sealing effectively it to take a dollar bill and place it in various locations then close the hatch. If the dollar pulls out with a good bit of resistance, the seal is good. If you can just yank it out, then the weatherstrip is getting tired, or the hatch is tweaked a bit.
Also have someone sit in the back while you run a stream of water from a garden hose all around the hatch and rear window. It could be leaking around the glass.
