Default water in my trunk

ok i just opened up my trunk for like the first time in a while, and there was a small puddle of water in the trunk where the spare tire usually is. I cant see wheres its coming from. Everything seems to be dry but the very bottom. Does anyone else have this problem. I really cant figure out where its coming from for the life of me.

i had the same problem, but only when it really pours and the car is outside.

I think it was my keyhole for the trunk. It was way loose. Also, check your trunk seal and your tail light seals for any wear or tears

its still hard to tell...it took me forever to tear out my stereo since its made to fit really tight...but i think it maybe coming from the little vent that is on the right side. Anythoughts on this. and also whats the pupose of this vent.

I dont see the vent you are talking about. If its on the driver side in the rear, that would be where your jack goes.

You could just take the drain plugs out and it'll solve your problem. I had the same problem, I took those things out, and haven't had water in my trunk since then

Air vent.

Check all your seals or do what prelude1897 said.

There are 4 hoses that drain down from the sunroof. That's probably where it's coming from...

Here is a pick of what I'm talking about. Push the little black things out. The water there now is just from me trying to clean it out a little. I just didn't dry it up yet
