Go to the hardware store and get a thin strip of rubber weather stripping. I believe I got a 1/4 of an inch or so. Run the weather stripping around the inside lip of each hatch. It may be a little snug at first when you close the lid, but it really keeps the water out.

A quick $6-10 fix.

I had the same problem with the slanted rear hatch on my x factor and the weather stripping solved it.
