Default fishtank in the trunk!

i know tegs get water in the hatch because of the sunroof tubes. ive never had a problem with it at all then about 2 weeks ago there was TONS of water back there!

today i washed my car and again it got full of water.

so i wint home and pulled the pannels off and the tubes where in there spot and dry as can be. i know its not tthem because there was a bunch dust built up and if it was leaking it woulda washed that away.

i checkd all around the tail lights and all around the hatch and i cant find the leak.

anyone got a idea?

usually is the trunk seal or the tail light seals....best to get new seals.

its not from the tail lights. i can tell it comes from the driver side of the car. im thinking maby the s2k antenna might be the cause. but ive bin getting LOTS of water that much should not be coming threw the antenna hole.

there is a spot weleds seam above the headlights where the seam sealer cracks off. Mine has done it on both sides, and I have never been in a accadent. Im me for a pic. im fixing mine right now I can show you where to put the seam sealer. Pull off your light and look at the top of the seam you will see a crack. this is prolly the problem or its you s2k antenna. both should be easy to solve.

i wasted so much time trying to figure out where i am getting leaks from in my dc2 trunk, so i just said faq it and drilled 2 little holes in the deepest part of the trunk. it still leaks but it drains out now.
