Weather Stripping...
Well the other day Chicago had a pretty nice rain. I woke up to go to school and noticed my god damn lacrosse equipment was soaked in the back. My hatch had allways leaked a little but this time it appears to have failed me almost completely. Water appeared to have come from the upper right side of the sunroof and also where the rear glass sprayer is. Anyways I was wondering two things, 1: other than Honda where can I buy weather stripping for a fair price. (Where did you get yours Jadkar?) 2: Where exactly does my car leak from? I know others have expierienced this.

A couple places to check would be the drainage tubes from the sunroof and (although this doesn't seem like your area of concern) the taillight gaskets.
I'm sure others will pipe in with their experiences too...

more times than not it will be your tail light seals, sometimes your hatch seal. i bought mine from honda and it wasn't too expensive to do all four gaskets, three tail lights and the hatch gasket.

get in your hatch and have someone spray it with the garden hose, that'll help you find it. if you're getting water in, take out your carpet, spare tire cover and spare. dry it out, otherwise you'll get rust.
you can buy a length of straight weather stripping with your desired profile from a lot of places, so that's always an option if you can put it in the right place.
