Default leaking roof

occasionally after it rains it feels like the back carpet on my 90 crx si is slightly damp. Where would this water be coming in from? Someone was saying that it seeps in through the washer nozzle at the back of the car?

How hard is it to remove that nozzle and replace that gasket that is underneath it?

Thanks

Correct. I don't know how the access for it is without the sunroof, but we had a little trouble getting the washer out. Switched both washer and gasket. Still get some drops in the rear seat after real heavy rain showers, but other than that it's fixed

when your roof nozzle leaks can you actually see water dripping from the inside roof? My car shows no signs of actually leakage that I can see. All i can feel is a barely perceptible dampness in the rear carpet area and some condensation in the spare tire well area.

Water in the spare tire compartment is most likely worn out/cracked gasket for the tail lights. Just remove the plastic panel and take a look on the gasket. It will probably be wet on the inside

i looked at my tailight seals and they don't look cracked but crushed. Perhaps I should replace them? Are they expensive?


I think I will take my car to honda to have them replace the rear washer nozzle gasket so I don't have to worry about water getting into the car.

Is it easy to change myself or is it a bitch to remove?

Thanks
