Is the seal bad or is the hatch out of adjustment?
Another thing to check is if the water is coming in through the tail lights or even around the glass.
I dont have a garage. I'll just steal it off your Omni when I'm at Jackson's in a week. Thx buddy!

It's coming from the top, I can see the drips since I don't have an interior. Seal just looks smashed/worn down. I'll check it some more. Either way it would be nice to have fresh rubber in there. I didn't know if anybody had a good replacement application we could use. Thx
IIRC Jon Trotter used the rear hatch seal out of a windstar on his Charger. It was nearly perfect fit wise. I think he had to trim a bit off of it, but you wouldn't know it didn't belong in there. That's where I would start.
I have a nice hatch seal from a Daytona. It's the same thing, just a little longer.
I had a leak because the window heater wire that comes in at the top was scrunching the weather strip. You might check for that.

"The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex is simplified, and reduced . . . . to a single principle."
-- Alexis de Tocqueville
"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."

"To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box . . . . things will evolve as much as you want. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."
