Exclamation '07 Fit leak through child seat anchor

After a rainfall I will open the child seat anchor cover to find about two tablespoons worth of water and some wet upholstery directly below the anchor. I have read through, literally, all the other threads regarding water leakage into the Fit and even sealed the cracks that tend to form near the top corners of the rear door opening, yet I still have water.

Is it possible that water is coming in via the antenna opening? I did a thorough inspection of the area and found nothing unusual. Has anyone else run into a similar problem even after sealing the cracks? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Leak

Mine had the same leak for a lon time. This summer I took the black roof seam strips of and used GE silicon II caulk to resealed them. I also sealed around the rear hatch hinges and anywhere else the factory sealant had become brittle and started to crack. Silicon caulk may not have been he best choice but the leak has all but stopped for me. I may get a tiny drip in a heavy rain, but before it has a steady heavy leak.
