95 A6 quattro wagon minor issue

[Louis-Alain Richard]

A car wash is a nice test for any car, leaking wise. Drop the rear seatback,
empty the well of anything (cover, carpet, tire, etc), and have someone look
while washing the car. You'll find it easily.

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.

yeah that was a good weekend heh.  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?
