Default Rainwater inside your car???

recently it has been raining here in texas, and everyday i get inside my acura integra i find a buncha water in my trunk!! and when i say buncha i mean enough where i can keep fishies in it. so i drilled a hole in the floor of the trunk, letted the water drain and then dried it up. so it rains again and boom.. more water!! so what i did was, i sat inside my car as my brother sprayed the entire rear part of my car with the water hose. i found out that the water was rushing in from the taillight. how am i suppose to prevent this from happening?

replace your taillight gaskets. I have a 00 gsr and have had to replace both gaskets due to your exact problem. once i had new gaskets no more leaks.

Let me add to the thumbs up.



If new tailight gaskets don't solve the problem, then you should try to trace where the water is coming from.

Take out the panels in the trunk. Wash your car and wet your car thoroughly and immediately pop the trunk and look for any leaks.
