Default Crx hatch leak....anyone else?

Im sure it did it before, but ever since I gutted the entire rear of my Crx it leaks and leaves a nice puddle in the spare tire well. it seems to be coming from several different places but Im not sure exactly where, just the general area. Anyone else have this problem? Mine's a 91.

oh yeah.....mine used to leak from where the hatch struts bolt to.....it was coming from the top of the car where the seam sealer had broken down over time.....lift the hatch up, and where it gets bolted to the body, look in that general area and look for any obvious/apparent cracks in it...hope that helps......also could be taillights gaskets, quarter window seals..etc....... but i would start with top of car and work my way down....

Also, poor water down the sunroof... There are tubes that drain the rain/ water out! It is common for them to clog with dirt and debris... If clogged, the water will drain down the pillar and into your
hatch Just another thought!
