i was planning to suggest both the things that have already been tried. 
In my 1995 a6q, i drilled a small exit hole int eh fiber tub and that 
solved the problem totally.

However, my alternative was to get in the tub with a flashlight and let 
someone douse the car.

I did not install the hatch, we had a local glass shop do it.  So it keeps leaking and finally the last time I saw the car, I drilled some holes in the well to keep the water from staying in the well and rusting everything.  However, there is still moisture accumulating underneath.  I did discover some corrosion at the base of the window above the windshield, that I filled and sealed, this was last summer.  I figured that would solve the problem.  It hasnt.  The seal all around the hatch appears to be in good shape and I am at a loss as to where to look next for leaks.  Does anyone have any btdt for this?
