I woke up this morning and there wasn't water in my car!!!! There was ice instead :x
Anyway I let it thaw/dry in the shop this morning, and just went over it to find all the leaks.
#1, Passenger Floor: Water was going from around the hood hinge area, into some of the split braid I used with my wire tuck, into the firewall via the quarter-sized grommet, and down onto the floor. Very high flow, the worst leak, fixing now.
#2, Hatch Struts: I was undecided if it was coming from the hatch seal or the washer sprayer. Didn't get much hosing down the hatch, a few drips, but it was hard to tell if it was leaking or overflow/spray. So I am now waiting to see if the squirter is leaking. I was worried if I covered it in water, I couldn't isolate the squirter, so I came up with this:

It keeps bubbling up, not losing water around the edges, nothing in the car yet... we will see...
