Tailgate leaks 200 1986

Okay. So I fixed the windshield and hood cable leaks on the son's wagon (ref. my previous posts on this). That does not mean the car is watertight: When I lifted the tailgate after a few days with heavy rain, water was running out of the holes near the window. This means that even if the drain holes along the bottom are open, they are not doing an effective job. So I guess I have two problems that should be addressed:
(1) Stopping the water from getting in. Where is the most likely place to start looking - besides the torn weatherstrip which I immediately replaced?
(2) Improving the drains. Do I just drill more holes?


As always, thanks for any comments.
Erling.
