Mine leaked for about 3 years before i figured it out by reading here. I pryed up the strip on the side that was leaking, using a large flathead screwdriver, being careful not to bend the strip. I then used some of that strong welders glue you buy at walmart and spread on the little hairline cracks under the strip. I then re applied the strip and have'nt had a leak since. Mine dripped(when it rained) from where the shock thing that holds up the hatch meets the car itself.
