1999 civic si: water draining into trunk
A while back i took out all of the rear interior (seats and stuff). And noticed that it was all kind of damp. Now every time it rains a pool of water forms in the back. Like massive..
Just wondering of a seal is messed or if something is not draining properly maybe in the trunk of sun roof.
Is there a way to reach the drain tubes? How do i go about fixing this. I need to put the interior back in for the winter storage and i dont want wet seats...
Thanks

Just an idea, after examining your main weather sealing and seeing if everything is put in properly maybe you can open the rear passenger seats and from inside (while someone is spraying a drizzle of water from outside) you can observe where the water is leaking in from. If someone has a better idea, please jump in.

Trunk seal or one of the moonroof drain hoses has come out of it's rubber grommet so it's dumping in your car. There is one in each quarter panel. Clear hose and it should hook to a black grommet that goes through the body outside.

i am doing the hose test method. when i do that there is three or four different places where pools of water start to form immedietly and little drips are happening. but it doesnt make sense where they are coming from...

Would a dealer or a body shop offer any solutions if i took the car somewhere?
