What a pain!

So ..... where is the leak located? Where do you put the tupperware? What have you done to trace the source? Do you have a sunroof?

If the rubber seals look good, I'd ask where the drain tubes for the sunroof run. If they run out the back, they could be clogged or have a leak.

Try lining the bottom of your bin with paper towels. Pass a hose over the hatch area and see where the paper gets wet and go from there. No leak from hose over the hatch? Try hose over the sunroof etc. to isolate the problem.
