Leak around rear hatch
I have one or maybe a couple of leaks at the rear of the car.
After a strong rain I will get water in the sonroof mtor cover and the right side of the cargo carpet has some moisture underneath. The right rear window is not seated properly at the top corner, which I beleive could cause the moisture in the rear carpet but not in the sunroof motor cover.
I did check the archives and saw the issue with the sunroof drain and checked all four and there was nothing in there.
What is the best procedure to check where this might be coming from?
regards,
Sab.

Isn't there a tube that leads from the sunroof inside lip to the outside that might be plugged? Mine doesn't leak so I don't know...but my 968 has a small drain tube.

On the S cars, the leak is usually at the screws that hold the tail spoiler, and it seems some of those screws are sometimes missing. On your car, leak is very likely at the sunroof. Are you 100% sure the gutters are open? Pour water and check. That truly is the only place it could be for any volume of water.
