Look for traces where water may be draining and flowing down the interior hatch trim. You can fix leaks on those screws by removing the screw and putting a dab of silicone on it and reinserting screw.

Leaving water spots all along the way. I'm pretty sure it's the sealant that is failing.

Check E-BAY under r/c airplane parts for conductive paint and glue. If the edge contact is broken off the grid, you can re-glue it with the r/c silver glue.
