Hi all.

Last week I opened the rear hatch and found it would close part way on
its' own. ?? I put in new supports just over a year ago. Shouldn't
happen I thought.....

My theory is that water gathered and froze, adding extra weight. Today
in warm sun, water ran out of bottom of hatch and it functions as it
used to. Mystery solved. But rear matresses are kind of wet. Water is
getting into van.

My Westy is parked on an incline with rear end pointed downhill.
Recently weather has been cold.

Where are the typical water leaks points on the rear hatch?

Water normally gathers in rear hatch bottom and drains out when opened
when parked on incline. Is this normal?

IF it isn't a water leak, could it be that with a frozen chunk o ice
at the bottom of the hatch, any "new" water coming in would overflow
into/onto the rear?

TIA, and hope my questions make sense!

Neil.
