Trunk Leak

[d2privat11]

Easy way to check for leaks is have somone spray the trunk down with a hose while you drop the back seat down and crawl in there and see where the water is coming in from.

That's what I was going to say, that's probably the easiest way to pinpoint it, and take a flashlight with you.

For some reason when it rains the inside of my trunk gets wet. But the odd thing is I dont think its coming in from the top, I think its coming from underneath. I notice it up under the rug near my power antenna. Anybody know how water magicaly appears in my trunk.

Do the waterhose thing as was mentioned earlier, check around the power antenna, might be coming from there. this is the same thing that happen to my trunk, it turned out that the gasket around the antenna was worn to shit; so water was dripping (at a pretty fast rate into my trunk)

I have the same problem with my wagon everytime it rains hard i have to go to the car with a rag to clean the puddle in the spare tire area

The tail light gaskets on these cars are notorious for leaks.

OK guys, since this is my "first official post" I'll try to make it count...


When I decided to put "something in the trunk" and knew the leakage had to stop, I did 2 things...

First I went to my local honda dealer (in florida) and orderd 4 new tail light gaskets, then, when they came in, I got the biggest tube of silicone sealer that my local advance auto parts had...


First things first, pull the tail lights and the old gaskets, clean everything thouroghly, and then put silicone everywhere! Ok, please dont take that litterally, just put it where the lens contacts the gasket, and where the gasket contacts the body, but dont be bashfull, cause you dont want to do it again.


Now, take whats left of the silicone and seal the 3 points where the spoiler meets the trunk lid.

You are obviously going to have to clean everythng first, but I assumed that was a given.


Hope this helps eveyone.
