Yea so Ive had my car for about 2 weeks now, and noticed I have a leak somewhere in the trunk. After its rained Ive felt all around on the panels right under the rear window and couldnt find anything that was wet. Felt along pretty much everything in the trunk and I cant seem to find where the leak is coming from. Is there any certain spots that are notorious for leaks in civic trunks? What should I do to fix this problem? (Im assuming just use some silicone and seal that beast up, but its hard to do that when I cant find the leak.) Help please?!?!

 

check the rubber seals?

 

check the tail light gaskets....

 

Seals seem to be fine. After it rains the back of the trunk near the tails isnt wet, its more towards the middle of the trunk, right above the spare tire, that gets really wet.

If its the tail light gasket, why the heck is the trunk wet in the middle, and not wet near the tail light? Mind you... I also have a system back there that sits right next to the tail lights and that DOES get wet, but that wouldnt really explain why the middle is soaked.

 

water moves around man. Whenever you drive it's going to move. Remember water flows down.

 

do you have a sun roof ? the rear drains are near the middle of the wheel well. Is it a hb? I had one of the seals for the top glass leak and it ran down the rails and ended up in the spare tire well
