          is there any other spots wet, headliner, carpet in the hatch etc. my friends was dripping from the sunroof due to the drain hoses running down the a pillar being full of pine needles. check the door seal for damage or not being seated right. o ther than that you could check by your ebrake or you have a hole somewhere underneath.

              check the seal around the top part of the door.
              a few of the clips broke on mine and it was loose, it wouldn't seal right and a little bit of water would seep in.

                        this is the spot that water sits when it leaks in and when there is to much water it leaks down behind the passengers seat

                        anyone have a clue where the water could be coming in?

                            Yeah, looks like your hatch is leaking. Check the part right at the curve, that is where mine use to drip!

                              Mine was a damaged roof rail and had water in the same spot but also the hinges for the hatch and the hatch seal can leak to and they all drip down the b pillar. Pull the interior and have someone run water on it while you check
