Default 1992 Acura Integra Water leaks

My 92 Integra 2dr hatch is soaked in the rear trunk, the water gushed forward and soaked the back seat and carpets. The rear quarter panels inside are soaked. I changed the tail light gaskets and sealed the seam on the top of the tail lights, I silconed the sunroof shut just to eliminate that.
It is still leaking, with the quater panels being soaked at the top on the inside could it be the left and right quater glass are leaking, the trim below them is wet as well. the headliner is not wet. Any help would be great.
thanks.

Take every panel out, let it dry. After everything is dry put baby powder all over the rear with the panels out. It will show you exactly where the water is coming from.

may be comeing from the hatch seal, Very very common.
or the radio antenna.

Just drill a drain hole in the trunk and be done with it.

it's nothing you mentioned causing the leaks..it the drain tubes running down the rear pillars into the trunk floor to drain it out ....the tubes must be cracked or dislodged..also check the bottom of the trunk near the spare tire jack location...2 very small drain holes there right...now take a look underneath the car ..see the tow hook?..ok look real close a hole on both sides of the hook...take something that you can stick inside to clean out the debris..they clogg up all the time...but my bet is if your getting enough water in it's the drain tube on both side of the trunk pillar.....Good Luck.

i would check your hatch seal, because the things that would cause a leak in the back is the sunroof drain hoses and tail light seals, and it seems that you got both of those fixed.. good luck

Would the drains tubes still get water in them even though I have siliconed the sunroof shut? Do you have to pull the interior apart to change them?
thanks for all the replys and help.

no you wouldn't. unless you didn't seal it up all the way you should be good on that part. but if you were to change it yeah you would need to take the rear panels off.

Did you seal all 4 sunroof drains 2 front and 2 rear...the front drains run down the front pillars and exit where the mudflaps are....yes the rear panels would have to be taken out....also the power antenna if you have 1 also has a drain tube attached to it and that could be another issue for where the leak is coming from....check and see,keep us updated and good luck!

I sealed the sunroof completely from the outside with silicone, so there is no way any water is getting in, last night i found alot of water sitting on the rear speaker plastic trim, it must be the hatch seal. thanks for the help.

Tail light gaskets can cause leaks too.

Just discovered this with my DA I just bought 2 days ago lol...The problem is the cowl under the wipers. There are rubber seals that crack and what happens is the water drips down from the windshield and right into the hole for the blower motor. The holes are for the plastic pins that connect the cover for the intake hole for the blower. There are two holes that are directly above the blower and it leaks right in. What I'm doing (today actually lol) is removing the clear seals that the pins go into and filling them with silicone as well as the surface of the holes so the water will go right over those holes and drain into the proper area. Let me know if you need pics.

**decided to post some pics for ya **
