If it was only in your trunk i could be a leaky tail light.

was your car in a flood? If you wanna try and check your door seals just dry your car all around the seals first. Then get a water hose and a jet type hose attachment that really sprays water hard. Spray it around the edge of the doors & trunk to see where the water is leaking into the car. Maybe that will help.

no the car wasnt in a flood, that i know of anyway. its a 95 civic coupe. i just completely gutted the car i found no signs of water leaking in. and its pouring right now. its dry inside now so i just gonna go get the hose out and spray that motha down ans see what happens. i think i am just gonna go buy new seals tomarrow or later today.

oh also the other day i had the same problem so i took out everything and the walls of the trunks had alot of water on them, kinda like dew in the morning on the car. idk if that would cause as much water as i had in it though. the bottum of the trunk was completely full like past the spair tire. and the back seat was completely soaked also was the floor boards in the front of the car too.

Does it have a sun/moon roof?

Integra's are known for having leaks cause of those. The drains run from each corner of the sunroof frame and the tubes run to the corners of the car and drain outside into the fenders.

Mine had a drain tube come loose, and I just had to reconnect it.

Yeah, but if it has a sunroof or moonroof, it can leak just the same. They all have drains and drain tubes.

I have the same problem, but mines a slow leak, only leaks in about every 2 days if its been raining a lot. You should check the drain hoses running into the trunk would be my first guess.... try having someone spray it with a hose or something and then lay down in your trunk with a flashlight. i did it this way to find my leak...

worst comes to worst u can buy lots of sponges and take them out every once an a while.
