I'm getting a lot of water in the truck. I'm guessing it's either the taillight gaskets (one side isn't even there) or the trunk weatherstrip (it's a little beat near the front lip).

Anyone ever had this problem?

 

I have the same damn problem left tail light (looking at it from the rear) everytime it rains or wash my car I get damn water in there, I still have yet to figure it out, my gaskets are fine so im thinking water is seeping in from the rivets maybe thats my guess. Plus im a bit worried thinking that anytime soon im going to have a short or something.

If you find out were its comming from let me know I shall do the same.

 

same here my system gets wet all the time...but it not worth nothn so i dont care.. i think it is my taillight becasue i have clears that i painted 1/2 red and it did not do it with stocks... looks good...but the water sucks.

 

Yeah, I do too, but my seals and weatherstripping are fine as well. I had a problem with the signal and outer brake light bulbs shorting out due to standing water, but here is my (admittedly ghetto tech, but it works) solution. Take a small drill bit (I mean really small) and drill a hole in the lower, outside corner of each lens. It seems like blasphemy, but when I saw the puddle of water that came out of each side I about poo'd my pants...but I haven't had a problem since.

 

Your weatherstripping around the trunk is probably going bad. You should be able to hold a running hose to the gap all the way around the trunk, and not get any water inside. Mine is starting to crack a bit, but still keeps all but a few drops out.

 

hmmm. i get it because of my sunroof drain hoses leaking. but you don't have sunroofs. i dunno.

 

man u guys are nutts.. thats an easy problem to fix.. get new gasket for your taillights and im sure it will fix the problem.. it happen to 2 of my ef's make sure u tighten those 8mm nutss that are on the lightts.. and water wont go in no more..

 

Well, I got the taillight gaskets and the trunk weatherstrip on the way... I'll let you guys know. The car has 195k miles on it and the weatherstrip looks a bit ratty. Plus I believe when I yanked the taillights the passenger side was torn... but what do I know? I used to drink a lot.
