No but it has to do with the seals for the hatch. They most likely need replaced.
Now unless you have no subframe connectors and have flexed the body enough that the hatch doesn't seat right then the weather seals have long past.

the best way for you to check is to pull all the plastic side plastic panels (the ones with the small speakers) out, take the top storage holders in the trunk, take the spare tire out, pull the carpet out and lay it toward the front seats. Dry everything up and close the hatch. You can either spray water with a water hose around the hatch area and keep checking until you can see were is coming from or get inside and have someone spray water on the car. Most of the time is the hatch seal needs replacement.

Check the seal around your hatch glass. Could be leaking there as well. In the meantime I'd pull the plugs under the rear of the car to keep water from pooling up there.

you can try spraying silicone spray and rubbing the seals with it. Make sure you wipe off the excess. If the seals are dry it cause leaks. I had that issue when I bought my car and since I started using silicone spray they haven't leaked anymore.
