Well, any 3rdgen guru's have any ideas? If this was a 1stgen RX-7 or Firebird, I'd know exactly where that water was coming from but not an FD with no moonroof or rear window water channel trim prone to trapping water..

Check for leaks in the spoiler holes or hatch glass.

You may check the weeping holes for the back hatch, mine were clogged and causing the same issue.

One or more of the spoiler mounts leaking? Otherwise pull your window trim and check the glass seal.
