    Default water leaking probs.

    ight so before i go through with taking my car to the mitsubishi dealership to have them fix this.. i wanna see what the ia community says. everytime it rains i get water in the rear of my car. its mostly a small puddle underneath both taillights in the corners, and then i just have little water drops where your back seats would be etc, now i think i have bad weatherstripping and alignment myself, but the spolier that is on the hatch itself is loose, and im sceptical about wether or not that may be the issue..? but i need some info on how to tighten that piece down because im not seeing any visible bolts and then go from there. any input?

    Bad seals is usually the problem but the spoiler can be also but if the water is near the seats i wouldnt think that be the spoiler leaking.
    The screws/bolts for the spoiler are in the hatch you have to look real hard.
    Also if you have a sunroof check for leaks around that also cause it can get inside the roof and panels then travel water through the car.
