update on this issue

my indie spent a good bit of time last week tracing the drain

we narrowed it down to the hatch controller, motor or something
there is a tsb about a software update for the rear sam addressing this issue

so i took it to schumacher mercedes in phoenix to have them do that, check it over etc

they did the update but did not solve the problem,thought it was the controller but that was not it either

turned out to be the 2 red buttons in the hatch door, the part is on order and i will update this again in a few days if it solves the problem

problem solved

after a lot of diagnostics this turned out to be the red buttons in the hatch door that will close it etc

this is a super easy part to check for a drain and if showing in the hatch stuff i would check it first
