    are you positive it's the tail light gasket? there are other places the water can come from, such as the weather stripping around the trunk. that's where mine started to leak from again.

    and i got my tail light gaskets direct from Honda. kinda expensive, but they're OEM, so i don't think it's too bad.

      mine came from the hole from the rear quarter panel where rust ate it away. Whenever I'd drive in the rain it would fling off the tire into the trunk. I sprayed that expanding foam all around and it helped block it out

            i've got a hole in the rear quarter panel also. i just used that RTV for sealing around the windshields and sprayed a HUGe glob into the area and let it roll down into place. i need to hit it up again for spots i missed.

            that expanding foam will be like bare bondo, it'll absorb water like a sponge.

              i thought mine was from the mounting holes for the wing, but after sealing them, i found out it's coming from the weather stripping. 9 of 10 it's the weather stripping.

                I had the same problem with my 92. every time it was humid or rained, my trunk would be soaked. I figured out it was the tail lamp gaskets. Replaced those for less than 20$ from the dealer, after that it was good to go.

                    negotiate with 'em. i got both of mine for $45 last year. still expensive, but i saved a bit.

                    and if you don't want to get them from the dealer, hit up a local junk yard. just check to make sure the gasket is still soft, and not hard and cracked before you take it or it'll just leak like it is now. good luck with it!

                      yeah, I almost forgot that I paid $20 at the dealer b/c I knew the dude at the counter and it was also 8 years ago! time flies!
