[QUOTE=BobDw;1609427792]What would cause moisture buildup in the right rear storage compartment on a 2001 Hatchback?[/
Do you mean water collecting in the compartment? Is the carpeting damp?

[QUOTE=c5BlackBeauty;1609428071]It is in one corner (left rear). I had the cargo net and a tire patch h kit in it and they were both covered with heavy moisture. I removed them and the bin is still damp. It is dry around here and I haven’t driven in any rain/meted snow.

stupid question perhaps but been through a car wash? Water is coming from somewhere and getting in. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help. I would check the molding around the hatch.

I have some Word files that discusses water leaks in a C5. Perhaps they may have some useful suggestions for your situation. If you would like a copy of the files, send me a PM with an e-mail address.
