Hello --
Have a 2012 Countryman All4 with ~35K miles, and live in Seattle. This year (wettest on record) I've noticed the floor of the rear hatch area (under the fold-up storage compartment cover) is consistently wet. Don't know what the easiest way for water to get in there would be, so thought I'd ask. 2 potential culprits off the top of my head: 1. bad hatch seal (doesn't look bad) or 2. somehow gets under rear bumper at speed and loops up under the plastic latch plate. Just guesses, so thought I'd ask if anyone else has seen this.
Thanks!

water could seep from the sunroof (if you have one) specially if the car was parked uphill. Im not sure if there are any "breathers" at the back of the roof like the ones in the front.
Sit in the back and have someone soak you with hose. MINI dealer will do this for you at $100+ hour.
Thanks to both -- will check out the sunroof seal. We have been parking on a hill a lot this year so that suddenly makes sense. We have a maintenance contract that is supposed to cover this so will investigate that option.
