I'm getting water intrusion near the back hatch. It is getting inside of the Tahoe. I had a jump seat in the back (jump seat is about 18-24 inches high) and water was getting into the cup holder. Head liner is completely dry. Not sure how the water is getting inside. Where should I be looking?

Here is the gasket of the top of the rear door, opened, and the roof. Gasket isn't torn or ripped. Twig fell there when I opened the door. It was not there blocking the door from closing.

I suppose I could crawl in the back and have someone spray some water on the back door but here are some photos and what I've been looking at.

You see where the gasket stops (bottom of photo). Is there supposed to be a second gasket? I'm finding it hard to believe there should be a big gap there. Maybe that is where the water is coming in?

Check the rubber boot for the hatch wiring harness, and ensure it isn't pulled out.
