Facelift Wagon Owners: please post pics of your tailgate area...

Hey. I'm trying to figure out the proper way to install the weatherstripping around the tailgate hatch opening. I have had some water intrusion and I think its because the weatherstripping is not installed properly. I've seen some online photos showing conflicting ways that the weather strip is routed, particularly around the lower half of the hatch opening, just below the rear taillights. I've seen some seals that go OVER the taillight flange, while some go under that flange. Also, some strips are tucked into the gap between the fender and hatch opening, while others seem to seal that gap.

Just need some picks of the opened hatch, showing the weatherstrip.

Thanks!!
