We are lucky enough that we can garage our truck at home and at work, so she's rarely outside for very long. It's been raining for most of today and I have been running errands for a few hours, always parking outside. Came back to the truck, popped open the hatch and there was water on the cargo cover, not much, 6-7 stray lines of water spread out about 10 inches long; but still, my baby was wet and she was supposed to be dry!
Took her home, and took the further most top rear ceiling panel off (the one near the hatch) as the right side screw cover was wet. Indeed, once I removed the panel, water was visible on the red 'grommet' - hidden behind a plastic tab - in which the screw sits. The inside of the panel was dry.
Removed the ceiling panel/disconnected the light and started looking around. The two right side bolts that hold down the hatch were my first suspect, but they were bone dry.
I could feel the wetness above the red grommet, but nowhere else - that is the lowest point of that part of the ceiling, so the water was naturally pooling there and dripping in from the screw.
Then I got lucky and noticed a drop of water on the hose that feeds the rear washer with fluid - but the connections were tight.
Only thing I can think of is that there is a tiny, tiny leak around the seal where the hose goes outside the main cabin into the hatch. There was nothing I could see, but the backside of the rectangular rubber seal is hidden by the body, so it's not visible.
Any one else experience anything like this?
