Anyone know if there is a step by step to take the Hatch interior panel off?

Hatch mirror? What is that?
The spray they used? I thought window tinting was put on with just a soapy water solution?

Okay. Sorry for the misunderstanding. What tint percentage did you get?

No big deal. I believe 35% on the front and 20% on the back. Nothing special about the percentage of the shade just the legal stuff since I don't want to get in trouble and I also like how it looks in those shade instead of just black black black everything. I did get the best film though, Xpel XR.

There shouldn't be much of the solution used (usually just soapy water) less then a days time it should have evaporated if anything. Is it sloshing or something? Might be a silly question but how do you know there's water in there?

When I lifted the hatch up the soapy water leaked out from the inside interior through the seam. The weird part is that the water did not leak out when the hatch is close/down and only start to drip when it is all the way up and only after many drops it will start to stop. At first I thought I guess it is done but no once I closed the hatch for a while and opened it again the problem repeat. So my guessing is that the water got stuck in some weird location. I did repeat the process many time yesterday in the freaking cold weather and it didn't seem to stop anytime soon and I didn't have all day doing thing that look so stupid when I can just take that thing apart. And today is raining all day long so there is nothing I can do either.

Hey there! Was wondering if you found a solution to this. Bring that the car is so new I’m having trouble finding out if other people are having this issue. My civic is also leaking in this area and only when the hatch is raised.

Can you post a picture of the hatch when opened

That must be the soapy water left over from the tinting. There is nothing you can do just by looking at it. Unless you just want to wait until all the water drip out and dried by itself.
For me, I took out the inside panel and put a paper tower at the bottom of it where the water would be when the hatch is close/downs and wait the whole day without opening the hatch. The next day that paper towel was rather wet and I checked there was no more water left inside and then I just put everything back together and problem solve. But the hard part is to take that inside panel out.
I was supposed to do update on it with all the picture I took for future reference but I am just that busy.
