Water Leak in hatch - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Forgot my old account info so I made a new account. Tried searching water leaks and all I seem to find is about the tail lights leaking. I have a 91 hatch and after it rains and I open the hatch water pours out of the carpet/cardboard that is attached to the hatch right below the window. I am not sure if this is common or not but the weather stripping appears to be good. Car has 84k miles and was kept in a garage so wouldn't think it had started separating from the body and I just can't see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no spoiler. It was removed when car was painted by previous owner and can't even tell it was there.

Wiper, sprayer, the grommets at the top of the hatch by the hinges for the wiring to pass through, down to the electronics at the bottom of the hatch.

Found the leak. Rear wiper seal had lifted up and was letting water leak straight into the trunk. Moonroof seal also broke today.
