Possible roof leak 850 1995

Anyone ever dealt with a roof leak on an 850 wagon? I have water dripping into the passenger compartment, not from the windshield or sunroof, and would like to find and stop the leak.

This morning when I left for work, I noticed water dripping from the trim piece over the rear side window just behind the passenger-side rear door. The forward edge of that trim is popped out from behind the piece of door trim that should hold it in place, and the water was dripping off the exposed end and running down the bulging plastic that covers the front of the wheelwell. I determined later in the day that the water was accumulating under the bottom of the rear seat on that side.

The rain had been falling steadily for about 8 hours, with little or no wind, when I noticed this. My driveway slopes, and the car was parked nose-down.

It seems to me that water might be coming in by three routes: around the roof stripping (where the rack rails are mounted), around the rear side window, or at the rear hatch.

My heartfelt and soggy thanks to anyone who can suggest a cause and repair.
