Found 2" of water in the rear hatch area today.
I was getting my tool box out of the car today, and was surprised to see 2 inches of water in the rear hatch cargo area. I looked all along the seal, and the glass if fine. We have had a lot of rain recently but there is no evidence of this water coming in. The carpet higher up is dry. I vacuumed the water out, and on the way home I could hear more sloshing around under the carpet! Thanks for the help guys. Is this common? Car is a 95.

Don't get fixated on water coming in from the top. water often comes from the bottom. A wiring grommet or body drain plug can push water in while moving.
We had a 280z at the body shop and couldn't figure out where the water in the floor pan was coming from. Turned out to be a plug under the driver's seat.
remember car structure can carry water a long way. Water from the door seals can find a way to the rear of the car too.

So I've been watching the area, and true to Floridas reputation as the sunshine state, we haven't had much rain. I live in a Condo and it isn't that easy to get to a hose, soooo, I did hop in one evening during a heavy rain and couldn't see where the water is coming in. I did however discover the water is building up in the spare tire compartment. There was so much there that it was sloshing over into the t-top holder/trunk whatever compartment. Anyway, vacuumed it out, and even after a heavy rain there is just a bit there, but no evidence of where it's coming in. Carpet up the sides is dry etc. I'll keep checking it.

I don't think power antennas were an option on the 95 coupe. Or on any Camaro F-body. Maybe on the Z's or the SS? I looked all around the antenna, and at least from up top it looks great and can't see how the water would get through there.
