well today i decided to clean underneath my trunk carpet,ya know .......wear the spare is,anyways when i took out the carpet i noticed that on each side of the trunk there is water puddles with a lot of water,it is not coming throught the tailights because there is no sign of wear the waters coming from.it is in the exact same spot on both sides i know taili light gaskets go but the thing is my carpet is not wet it is just the metal that has puddles?any ideas??thanks

drain it and wipe around..then wait till u wash the car or rain...then find it.

u can run water down the seal of the trunk to see if its leaking from there...

same thing happens to my car, after a hard downpour, my entire spare tire was submerged in water. found out its partially becaue of my tail lights, but also because the 2 inner corners, on either side up by the back window. i think the window trim is loose, water gets in, drips down the inner side of the rear 1/4 panel. try folding down the back seat and lock urself in the trunk w/ a flashlight while its raining, and look for any bit of wetness, or tiny bits of rust along the edges of anything.

thanks for the reply's guys.both of my quarter panels are rusty the usual cb7 rust and when i lifted up on the carpet its rusty up near the antenna motor and the same on the other side maybe my tires spitting up water throught the rust?oh ya did that member ever do that diy on rust,because i am in serious need of fixing both of my rear quarters,there rusted all the way through i want to just go to the junkyard and cut out some pretty decent quarters but i figured i would wait untill that diy but did it ever get posted??thanks

sadly i dont think he will ever do the DIY on rust removal, he was supposed to to it about 6 months ago but never got around to it. do what you need to do pimp because it will just get worse waiitng for the DIY . lol

Yeah, I have the same problem... fixed the tail light gaskets, then shaved the antenna hole, and now im guessing that it is from the window trim. Mine looks like crap, and is dried up... so is the front windshield.
