Since my MY85 has been back on the road this past year. I've found that the rear hatch area has developed a water leak when exposed to heavy rain and when washing the car if I concentrate rinsing over the hatch for a long time.
Note: The hatch gasket has been replaced in the last 5 years and 2 of those years the car didn't move from the garage. (you may know why)
The water starts pooling down near the tool panel at the right corner. (facing the hatch from the rear)
Would a misaligned hatch have anything to do with this leak?
Left side
Right side
1. Even if the misalignment shouldn't effect the seal of the hatch. I need to align it correctly. Any good procedures to follow?
2. Any other ideas on why the leak and what to do about it?
Thanks!!
