07' HB Water Accumulation in hatch

[bobolinko]

I'm not sure if all the HB doors are the same, but Wifey has an 07' and it had some slimy water in the hatch that accumulated over a while and surely would have caused rusting. I sealed the area between the glass and the metal frame with clear silicone and all the way down to about 6" from the bottom, and now it does not have any water getting in there. It is not noticable since the silicone is clear, and I taped the line very carefully with painters tape, one on each side of the area I wanted to seal. There was also an odor of the stagnant water in the HB door if you sniffed carefully, and now that, too is gone. I'm not saying they're all like that, but it just might save some $ if yours is storing water too....

BTW:
I found the water by opening the hatch waaaay beyond the normal opening.
The gas shocks were not in the door at the time...
