Do any of you know how water could have gotten in there? I know I didn't leave a window open or the sunroof open. The sunroof isn't leaking...otherwise there wouldn't be water under the rear seats and pooling in the spare tire well.

Any ideas? Thanks.

EDIT: Here are the pics again anyway:

This is the spare tire well:


All that dark stuff is water under the rear seats.


I took out the carpets cuz they were soaked and they started to smell.


Here's the shot from the rear....maybe I should just make my car a drag car, cuz I know I'll be so lazy to put everything back in.

I dealt with this same problem. It sux. You need to replace your taillight seals/gaskets and your lights may be leaking water through small cracked areas in the lenses you may not notice. Replace the seals and your problem should be solved. I thought I had a hole in the trunk well mine were leaking so bad.**** was an inch deep and like yours, all the way under the rear seats. Big *** mess. Air dry your interior and replace those seals. Good luck.

 

Holy shat!

I had the same problem; but only in the rear spare tire area. I replaced the tailight seals and water never came back. BUt you have it all over the car so Im not sure....

 

I had the same problem.. and it was the tail lights. The water was so deep i could hear it swooshing around when I took turns

 

Anyone know the part number for the tail light gasket/ seal ??

 

Definitely replace the seal, but like GSRTUNR look at the tailights themselves. The water might be getting in the inside of the light through the smalls gap that runs around the light where there are pressed together, which should be sealed from the factory. I just ran a small bead of clear silicone around the perimiter and smoothed it in the crack with my finger. Then just a little reducer or paint thinner to clean up the light.
Good Luck

check to make sure your sunroof drain tubes aren't restricted or some how disconnected. i've seen this happen from that
