Did you install a spoiler this summer?
If you did make sure you sealed it from the rain.
Found out the hard way today, when I opened the hatch and what seemed like half a gallon of water went rushing all over the area where the rear speakers are
I actually did seal it when I installed it but forgot that a few weeks ago I was trying to get it to fit a little better and put off resealing it back up because the weather was nice, then eventually forgot all about it, until today.
Doh!!!

i just left small gaps so water can drain out
I already knew that water would get in one way or another, it's unavoidable, so i simply created small gaps so they can leak out. Works great so far!

The spoiler came with sticky back foam doughnuts for the holes but I also used silicone on the bottom side of the bolts as well (hatch interior).
It could also be my wiper mod plug which is not sealed either.
I have some sealing to do.
