Ill fitting rear hatch - whistling

this won't help your sunroof drains but may be a clue as to why your rear hatch can let in water. In my '89 Carlsson (before it was written off in a rear end shunt) the rear hatch had started to 'whistle' and on trying to investigate it didn't appear to be sitting true in the aperture. A rear passenger could stop the whistling by gripping the top of the inside of the hatch and squeezing it towards the roofline. I found out from a SAAB specialist (dealer) that when one of the rear hatch struts looses pressure then the good one is trying to push on its side and the bad one isn't which twists the rear hatch in its aperture, when the hatch is closed. So if your rear hatch doesn't stay up unaided, or starts to sag when the weather is cold it might be causing more than just inconvenience and the occasional bumped head.
