Hey Ive had a leak in my trunk ever since ive had my car. It's a 94 Civic Ferio. From inspection the leak does not come from the taillight gasket. It comes from where there is body sealant near the taillights. I have taken the taillights off and I cant see where it would enter the car. Could it be from the rear window? Another person here has the same problem on his coupe as well.

Here is a pic to show where the leak is coming from

Here is how to fix.

First off do you have a rear spoiler? If so it could be that.

Second....Crawl in the trunk and have someone run a water hose over it and look for the leak.

My car is a JDM EG9 Ferio so yes it has a factory spoiler. Its not coming from the spoiler as i had the trunk open when I poured water down the rear window when the leak showed. Ive got a funny feeling its leaking where the rear window seal is or actually where the seam is but I cant see how the water would go through the factory sealant as there doesnt appear to be any cracks.

Its kinda hard to inspect the leak as I have the JDM EG9 rear seats so they cant just fold down, have to unbolt them lol.

take it to a body shop

spray some soap all over the back of your car, and blow some compressed air into the spot where the water is coming in. look for bubbles, thats where your leak is.

Most of the time it's either from the tail light seals, or the sunroof drain tube.

the drain tube is probably clogged (if you have one)

i kinda of have the prob too.at least i see some soloutions for it.

Car does not have a sunroof and taillight gasket is all siliconed up. I find it perplexing that water can leak through the factory sealant when there are no obvious signs of cracks.

b16ej1lsd

well you definatly not going to find the source of your water leak on a website.

yea, silicone up where it's definatly not leaking from.....wtf?

b16ej1lsd

silicone is ******* ****. use seam sealer. or better yet put your tools down and save your money and pay a body shop to fix it since you obviously cannot do it yourself.

E.Honda

I told this cat days ago how to find the problem and hes in here still with no conclusion. The advice I gave you is the same thing a body shop will do. What is the problem now?
