it has been raining the past couple days in southern caLi and i decided to clean the inside of my car and trunk out. when i opened the hatch the carpet over the wood cover was wet so i rolled up the carpet and i saw that the wood cover was all wet and molded! then when i took the wood cover off there was about 2 inches of water underneath my spare.

i'm guessing the only problem i can have is the rubber hatch sealing. is there a way i can seal it without buying another piece from honda? or is there a place i can get it for cheap because they quoted my 116$ + tax for the damn thing.

PLEASE HELP!

 

is this the first time its happened?

 

i guess...its really the first time i checked

Take the rubber seals off carefully and turn them around and swap them from left tail light to the right one and vice versa. I did it and have had no leaking problems eversince.

 

the same thing is happening to me also ever since i replaced my back windshield..

 

This is a very common problem on 96-00 hatch.

 

DUDE! i feel you! f'in so cal's crazy rain this past month or two. My wood piece was so molded that my car was getting a nasty funk. i had to throw it away!

 

r u serious? u just took off the seal and flipped it around?

and i'm actually bummed out that this is a common problem.
