When ever it rains water somehow finds a way into the back area where the spare fits on my 96 ek hatch.I have a carbon fiber duckbill, but it did this same thing before i even had it, when the car was stock.Any suggestions?Im sick of having a swimming pool in my car.

change the little seal between the tail lights and the body and you will be fine.

Yeah theres a thread on here that shows how to fix it, im sure you will find it if you search. But I did it and it still leaks a little, nowhere close to as much as before though. Almost all of the 96-00 hatches do it.

 

the 92-95 hatches does it too, so when it rains i leave it in the garage

 

Mine does, I have done everything to try to fit it. From replacing the gaskets for the spoiler and tail lights to putting liquid gasket on both of them. I still cant find where the leak is.

 

Does anyone else see the irony between his s/n and his problem? lol

 

hey man me and my buddy just went through the same thing in our eg hatchs what it ended up being is the rear seal that the hatch glass rests on. I took my seal off and cleaned it really good and used black silicone and put it around the lip the seal goes on then i slid the rubber seal back on and let the silicone dry . completely fixd both of our problems and im sure it will yours to. Good luck man and let me no if this works.

 

check the seal between the tallights and the body. get new ones if theyre not that great, and make sure taillights are tight against the body. that prevents the gaskets acting as a sponge/passageway for water. also, the way its designed, water is sent right up into there by the rear tires and it totally sucks. im planning on getting mudflaps and or sealing it up under there so that water doesnt make it that high up.

 

alrite thanks for the help.il try replacing the gasgets.

 

gaskets between tailights. but dont use stock ones. If you do stack 2 gaskets together for each of them.
Just cut out some memory foam and put it w/ your current gasket
