Hello,

I am currently having a problem with my '98 EX Coupe. When it rains, it leaks pretty bad in my trunk. I can't seem to find where the leak is coming from. I checked the seals around the trunk lid and it all seems fine. Has anyone else had this problem, or have any information on where I should look? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

get in the trunk with a flashlight and have a friend spray the outside edges of the trunk with a hose, unless this what you meant by checking seals

 

my trunk leaks just a very little bit.. has ur car been in an accident or anything??

 

check your taillight gasket. that's one of the most overlooked place. very easy and inexpensive. go to walmart and buy a sheet of craft foam for like $0.33. use your old gasket as a template and just cut it out.

 

My '95 EX does the same thing.

I laid in the trunk for like an hour w/ a flash light and somebody hosing every angle from every side w/ that **** w/ high pressure nozzles (including under) and found absolutely nothing - but it's soaked as **** back there when it rains.

So the solution?

I took a sheet of steel radiation deflection material (not usually easily obtainable) and dropped it over the spare tire well and bashed out the drain plug. This way at least it won't stay there...

 

ye i drilled a hole in my trunk for a drain type effect too

i would call that a semi fix more than a solution.... but whatever works right? my friends was doin this too...found that a few blots werent properly tightened and they didnt alow the trunk to sit flush. and wala...no more leak. gl with your problem
