there was a post about the hatch leak a little while ago if you wanna search for it. as far as the frost on the inside, i think if you have the vents open it shouldn't do it. maybe you need to air the interior out alittle before you shut the door or try some of that rain-x fog stuff. my guess is that the moisture from breathing out is building up in the car while you are driving. and if the vents are closed and you get out quick the moisture doesn't have time to escape from the interior, it will become frost when it cools enough. just a guess.

sounds like you may need to replace the weatherstripping around the hatch area.. i had leaking problems also, but after replacing that weatherstriping the majority of the leaking problems went away. You can get the rubber stripping from your dealership for around 50-60.. if yours is worn out or falling apart it will be a worthwhile thing to do.

Man, I feel you man. I had a BAD leak since the day i bought it. I didn't know untill I opened up the spare tire area. My system got wet many times... It could be anything. It could be your wing holes(holes that you have inorder to keep the wing on), the window gasket could be bad too. Just start fixing one by one. It can be done! HELL, After 10 ong months...I have finally FIXED IT!
GOOD LUCK

Do you have aftermarket Tails? Might want to check the tail light gaskets as well. I had the same problem. Take out the interior panels of your hatch area and sit inside with a flashlight while one of your buddies hoses the car off. I did that and here the guy who owned it before must of had aftermarket lights on and left off one of the gaskets.

^^ I had the same problem... I ordered new gaskets which were like 6.00 a piece from satan and It seems to have no leak now.. also the problem you have with windows getting frost on it, I also had... It was just cause my mats were soaking wet, and thats where the moisture came from..

thanks guys! i dunno what it is but it's snowing here now and the inside hasn't frosted at all. sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. i do have aftermarket tails so i'll check the gaskets too.thanks again!
