For weeks, I had a terrible amount of water coming in the back of my car, and I was convinced it was coming from the hatch. I struggled in vain, trying to stop a leak that wasn't there. My dad suggested that it was the wheel well, but when I had taken the tire off to look, I didn't see any holes. I finally took the pressure washer and sprayed my wheel wells, and found the crack. Picture #2 is what it looked like from the wheel well, no problem, right? Then I found out that they had "repaired" that horrible crack by filling it w/ an epoxy like compound. Took my a good day to clean up the area. I had to cut away alot of bad metal. I certainly learned alot, as I did not repair the problem w/ a professional level of experience, but I know that I did a good enough job so that the problem will not come back, and so that it is at least as strong as OEM. Pictures 4 and 5 are actual pictures of the crack in the wheel well. The car was in an accident before I bought it, and it was repaired poorly. The crack went from the bottom almost to the top where the strut connects.
