I have the same issue. Water will start running from the passenger side car seat tether hook in the cargo area. I thought it was coming through where the rubber hose protects/hides the wiring from the tailgate or the actual hinge. I attempted to cover all the seams with silicon sealant to see if it would stop, but the sealant did not hold up and I couldn't really apply all around the hinge very well due to the tailgate itself when open gives no clearance. My next choice was to take the headliner off and see if I can find it. My sunroofs seems to be tightly sealed so I don't know if that is part of the problem or not.......so bothersome. Great car otherwise.
