Have you checked the weatherstripping to make sure it's in place properly?

I only see three seals. Two on each side of the hatch door and one big "O" ring surrounding the opening. Appears the ring seal would be the main one keeping water out.

Have the dealer look at it, and replace it under warranty.

easiest way is to dump a bucket of water on it to get it really wet, then check around on the insides of the seals to see if its damp. if it is, theres probably a leak right there.

just toss some water on it get it really wet and check around to see if anything is wet.
