300TD Wagon - Water in the rear hatch!

So today I drove my 1985 300TD wagon to work in driving rain. At the end of the day after it stopped raining, I opened up the rear hatch and when it was open, water poured out from the molding on the inside about half way up the rear hatch. I am assuming that the rear window seal leaks and I should probably have it replaced by a glass shop. I was also thinking of drilling a drain hole in the bottom of the rear hatch so that if it happens again the water won't fill up in there again. I probably should take off the inside hatch interior panels and paint inside there with rust resistant paint. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do about it? Bill Brewer Tehachapi, CA
