the drivers side of the back of my 90 hatch leaks. I have been unable to trace the leak. i cleared the sunroof drain lines on both sides. the water fills the pocket in the plastic the the hatch cover clips in. I can see it dripping down where the handle to pop out the back window is. where is this water coming from?

i bought a new seal for the rear driver window from honda but it doesn't fit, i tried putting it in about 5 times and its too big. triple checked the part numbers and its the right one. im hesitant to buy another seal b/c i dont know what that one hasn't worked.

where is this water coming from? tried using a hose to find out but to no avail

 

Tailights gaskets?

 

its leaking from higher up than the taillights i believe, since it drips thru where the window handle is

 

Ok, I have a similar problem in my CRX. Water drips on the inside on top of passenger seats. it crips from the sides, from the trunk shock mounts. I know this because I removed the liner and plastics. Before that it would just run down in to the back, and into the wheel weel.

It came down to be a crack in the roof!! On both sides of the roof, right after the weather strip there is some kind of filler between the body panels. It has cracked. I could barely see it because the trunk would cover it. I just scraped some, and covered it wiyh silicone.. done. ;-)

 

hmmm, sounds lke that could be my problem, im not sure what you mean by "after the weather stripping" . under it? should i take the strip off on either sides and check for leaks? how is it attached, is it easy to replace?

 

anyone? what are under the trim strips that run in the grooves down either side of the roof? how are those trim strips attached?

 

The weather strips can be removed by simply taking a flat head screw driver and gently pulling up under the stripping. It's easier to start from the back because the weather stripping from the front windshield often covers the front. I want to say there is some little metal tabs on each side of the stripping.
