Plastic paneling on the inside of the trunk (hatch) door had become partially detached from the metal exterior portion of the door due to one or some of the plastic clips becoming broken or dislodged. The missing/broken plastic clips were replaced and the interior plastic panel was reattached to the metal exterior. However, after the car had been returned to me, the entire plastic panel detached from the door when I tried to close the trunk door, suggesting that the panel had not been reattached properly in the shop. I reattached the panel, but now the panel rattles/squeaks more than it did prior to this repair being attempted. I believe that there are still some clips that may be missing.

After several days of heavy rain, I found a large quantity of water on the floor in the rear seat area, on both sides. Water was over 1" deep on both sides. Additionally, I found over 1" of water in the spare tire area. I shop vacuumed over 2 gallons of water out of the car overall. For the rear hatch area leak, I sealed the roof rails with RTV on both sides, as recommended online. For the rear floor leaks, I removed both rear door panels, and replaced the seal on the vapor barrier, which had failed, again following advice I found online for similar leaks with 2007 Honda Fits.
