What's that tool called?

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

The test was pretty extensive.
We had a hose and liberally doused various areas and checked for leaks.
It wasn't the hatch seal and it wasn't the tail light seal.
But we regularly got a leak when the hose was directed at the gap between 
the very top of the foam wing where it goes over the rear window seal.
There is a hole at the top side of the hatch where a metal bracket on the 
wing sticks through and is secured with a bolt. This area is seals with 
sticky glazing type compound. The assumption is that's where the leak is.
Sorry to butt in Greg, but you know how I am.

I'll take some better pictures tomorrow - but at the top of the foam wing,
(the arms?) where it goes over the top edge of the window seal, there is a
gap on both sides.
I notices that the water in my trunk was coming out of the hatch itself.
There would be a small puddle inside the seal on top of the rear taillight.
When I open the hatch, water runs out of the holes in the bottom of the
hatch.
Extensive testing (with a beer in one hand and a garden hose in the other)
showed that when water would hit that area it would work itsway inside the
hatch.
At least, that's what I think.  I'm pretty damn sure it's not coming in
around the taillights or hatch lock.
