Trunk Leak?

[guitarplayer825]

Does anyone else have water coming in their trunk when it rains? My friend's dad who drives a CB7 has it too, but neither of us have figured out where it's coming from and I don't want it to hurt my amp.

might be the sun roof drains or tailight seals.

[guitarplayer825]

Oh I never really thought of the sunroof drains, where are they? I didn't realize they needed to drain anywhere, what part of the sunroof collects water?

it could also be the weatherstripping around the trunk. check to see if they are squashed down flat, or torn. if they are replace. if not spray water on the TRUNK ONLY and then check for leak. if there iswater in your trunk dry it out and rub the seal with vasaline and reapeat process. it quick and easy. i would do that before pulling things apart to check the drains and taillight seals.

Tailight seals are the problem 83% of the time, but it could be the other tihings mentioned. Best way to figure it out is to get in the trunk with a flashlight and have a friend hose down the trunk. You should see where the water is coming in.

Mine leaked , replaced the seals didnt leak for about 8 months now leaks again , I think seals need more , meaning some sort of gasket maker or something with the seals ... Im not sure how im going to do mine but Im telling you Im sick of the damn water I have a nice trunk setup subs Nitrous ect ... no more water for me Im doing something about this .. this week .. LOL

if the water is in the spare tire area it could be the taillight seals .I have had that problem several times with a couple of wagon that I have driven and the the one I currently drive.it a big problem with cbs and other hondas

I live in Oregon and I had a problem with this too. I went to the Honda dealership and got some seals for the tailights and haven't had a problem since. I think the seals were around $25. Better do it soon though, I ended up having to replace the wiring harness for my passenger side tailight because so much water had got in.

yea but its from werre i had a wing

[speed_freak03]

some of the rails where the weather striping goes was bent on my car, and i took a rubber mallet to it, shaped it to normal and mine stopped leaking . My weatherstripping is torn also but its minimal and it dosen't leak. Possibly check for bends in the sheetmetal for the weatherstripping?

I have the water in the spare thing.

I'll notice water dripping from the underside of my car, but the carpet and everything else inside the trunk isnt wet.

I guess its something i should look into cuz after so long all that water could lead to rust.

This has been discussed a number of times. It is almost always leaking from the rear glass molding clips.

Almost always? It's a possible leak.

But really, it's almost always the tail light gaskets. They are 25 a piece from honda. Expensive, but kept my trunk dry.
