I have a 90 civic si and I noticed that water gets in somehow from the hatch I think. There was water where the spare tire should be. Now nothing else in the car is wet. I checked the weather stripping and it all seems legit. Im stumped here. Any idea what I could check for?

 

check around the tail lights.

 

Ive checked there, nothing seems to leak from there.

 

i just had to put silicone on my tail light gaskets i waited for it to rain pretty good out and took the plastics off and i seen it leaking pretty good threw there.
get a friend and a garden hose, remove the back plastics that cover the tails youll see it leaking there
have a friend run water on it you get in there car

 

sunroof drain tube is clogged
weather stripping
bad taillight gaskets
rear washer fluid nozzle
area where hatch meets needs sealant
window gaskets
