got a leak in the rear of my 93 hatch that I absolutely CANNOT find. what are the common places to look?? I've already checked out all of the rear weatherstripping and its not there. I cant see any leaks from the ceiling but yet, the rear hatch carpet is wet. I pulled the quarter panels up a little and honestly cant tell where it's coming from.

could it be a tail light?? or something really goofy?? no sunroof so I dont think I could have water traveling from front to back or anything??

 

is the title clean if its a rebuild then it was probably rebulit around that area and needs to be fixed...

 

nope, never wrecked. though I did have it torn down to a shell at one point. maybe something isnt sealing correctly, I dont know.

I'm just wanting to know for when the rain FINALLY stops, I intend to rip out all the rear interior and have a friend with a pressure washer spray all over with me inside so I can look for it but I just want to know normal spots so I make sure I get all the pertinant panels out of the car and not accidently still hide the affected area.

damn mildew smell pisses me off.

 

Just use a hose with a gentle stream. A pressure washer can cause more damage and cause leaks where there aren't yet any.

 

i actually had some water leak from the gutter on top of the roof. It would drip down into the trunk, i also have pretty bad rust on the rear quarter panel and when i drove in the rain, water would seep through the rusty parts into my trunk. hope that helps some

 

Most rear hatch leaks are through the outer taillight seals. My had this issue and I just used spare window chaulking from the garage and sealed that bitch up!

 

Yeah, I'd check the tail light seals.
