    Spent the day cleaning my Prius. As I was drying it off I noticed some soap suds in the center brake light. When I opened the rear hatch to vacuum I noticed water streaks on the inside of the hatch. There were several from each upper corner and some along the bottom of the vertical window. I've washed my car several times but this was the first time I opened the rear hatch afterwards so I haven't noticed it before. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Wow, I just washed mine today too and I had NO water in the inside of the rear hatch window (also opened the rear hatch). I think you gotta problem, take it in the first chance you get and you might want to take some pictures for proof.

    Same here, I wash mine weekly (since June) and never had this problem. I would definitely take it in for the dealership and also, if you can, take pictures of the suds inside the center light and water where it should not be as proof to send to corporate if need be.
