I just  opened up the back of my 89 vanagon gl
to find the rear cushion is wet on  the bottom as well as the
carpet pad over the engine lid.

We have  had lots of rain recently.

How is the water getting into the top area  of the engine lid?
soaking the carpet and pad?

The van is a solid  roof gl with no sunroof or pop top.
Rear hatch gasket seems to be  fine

how could the rear d pillar windows allow water to get to the  engine lid
area?

tree leaf crap clogged up in gutter over hatch..leaking down thru seal
inside...??
