Default Water leaking from back hatch

I have water leaking from the back hatch, it seems to be coming from the run off around the back ruber seal.I have noticed a mildew smell and raised the hatch and water is getting in somewhere. Has anyone had this problem? And if so what did you do to fix the problem?

Have the dealer check the windshield fluid spray lines as they snake through the hinge area. When I was removing my rear wiper arm I discovered the gasket that was suppose to seal the hole was put on poorly leaving a gap where water might run in if I let the car get wet.

its might also be from your wing. I'd pop off the interior plastic of the hatch to see if you can spot the exact area its coming from. also look for any signs of rust and get that addressed immediately.
