yea umm there is some water build up in the trunk.. know how to fix this?? i dont want it to rust in the back..

 

pull out the carpet and check around the vents and seals in the back my hatch did the same thing and the vent on the drivers side was leaking some sealant ought to do the trick

 

yups me to check those little vents in the back...i just got some silicone and it fixed the problem

 

Taillight seals/gaskets. and next time Search

 

They are $4 each side from the dealership or you can go to walmart and get 4 sheets of these for 33 cents each and make your own. I did this the other day and it worked like a charm.

i took out the panel.. and when i touch the gasket i can feel a little pool of water sittin on the gasket.. do you think thats the problem? when the water goes through frmo the hatch and into the tail lights water gets caught?

 

I had same problem because I had my amps in my spare tire compartment and one day my system shut off, and I saw that they were all wet.

I took everything out of the back of my hatch and stuck a construction flood light underneath my car. When you look into your hatch you will be able to see cracks/holes/etc. because of where the light is coming through. THen from there you can use silicone/cocking/or w/e u want to seal up all the cracks and what not.

GL, worked for me

 

ill take a pic of my hatch tonight.. i also need some help on fixing the small rust build up.. (never did this type of body work before so yea..) i need someone to lead me into a good direction lol

 

Get some silicone and redo the taillight gaskets anyway, they probably need it even if it isn't the entire problem.

 

there is like a small hole in the trunk.. was that for the spare tire? the big screw to hold it in place? j/w but there is a hole..

when you remove the carpet from the trunk you will see something in the bottom left corner he is talking about that vent. its the molded carpet on the side of it like by the rear shock tower

 

Here is the update..

I changed both my left and right tailight gaskets..

**Here is the problem.. My right tailight doesnt leak any more (right meaning when lookin at the back not from front).. <u>Now there is only water leaking from the left side.. i dont know if its the gasket.. any one can help me?? im going to buy some kmart foam thing and take out the new gasket from the left side and make it thicker and a lil longer. if thatsn ot the case can anyone point me in the right direction?? (BOTH GASKETS ARE BRAND NEW!)

 

still leakin &gt;&lt;;

 

My 95 civic ex coupe leaks water into the rear floorboards when it rains and the car is parked nose uphill(but not when parked nose downhill). Are there hoses that drain from the sunroof to the underside of the car? If so, how do I access or unplug the hoses? If not, what's the solution?

 

i have no idea i never had a car with a sunroof ;/ anywho

ANOTHER BUMP FOR MY PROBLEM AND FOR HIS PROBLEM!!

 

bump bump yo.

 

my car did that it sucks the best thing to do is spray the area with water then you can see whats going on thats what i did i had the same problem on a camaro

 

my car does the same thing and it is a coupe. i haven't had it replaced yet but i was told to have the rubber foam seal around where the trunk closes, but i don't know if it is similar for a hatch.

 

well.. i dont wanna remove my whole rear panel.. kinda lazy.. its not the tail light.. i think its one of the plastic protecter thing for the tail light spike thing to go into..

 

midnight bump
