sit in your trunk and have someone hose the car. If you still cant figure it out then drill a drain hole

 

Could be your taillight gaskets, taillights, sunroof drain tubes (if appliciable) antenna gasket..,etc.

search the terms ''water leak'' in recent and archived content and you will find that all of us integra owners have had this problem...

 

is it a DA or DC?

 

I want to say DC from the information in his sig. ?

 

I had the problem too, turns out it was my tail lights! Good luck finding the problem. I have a driver side jdm tail light for sale if you are interested =D.

 

DAs leak around the hatch seal quite often, Just drill a hole in it for the water to drain thats the best thing you can do other then permanently sealing the hatch. Dont know about DCs they might of fixed that problem in later models.

 

i have jdm tail lights

anyways i'll check the drain tubes tomorrow, i should fasten them down w/ tape or zipties because according to the t-i article they can slip off

i'll be spraying water at the car after fixing the drain tubes to locate any other leaks

where would i drill a drain plug? would i not have a rusted hole if water keeps running out of it

 

Dill it at the lowest point of the pooling, And paint over it so theres no exposed metal to rust.

Taillight gaskets.

 

yep im checking today, after i check the moon roof tubes i'm gonna have someone sit in the trunk and spray the car down

 

Bro replace your tail-light seals. I had the same problem in the same area and after replacing the seals it never leaked again. The seals become so smashed over the years that they just don't seal anymore. When I got new ones I was pretty shocked to see the difference in thickness between new ones and the ones I replaced.

 

how much are new gaskets?

if it is the tail lights i plan to do silicone like this guy https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1948707

Check the antenna hole too

 

hopefully nothing comes out the antenna hole because i have it completely sealed off w/ a rubber grommet

Did you plug the antenna drain tube after removing the antenna? If not, the moon roof draining can leak from the tube into the trunk. Regarding locating a leak, I tape paper towels above the pool zone at suspected leak points. If a towel is wet, you've found a leak.

yea i plugged the antenna hole, we poured water the moon roof&gt;rear and have only come up with the left taillight gasket so hopefully... that left taillight gasket is THE ONLY leak since we didn't seem to find anything else

are those just foam pieces? i can buy a sheet of foam from a material place and just cut it out and would it work?

right now i'm bout to tape up the whole thing as a temporary fix, anyone think this will work?

and its gonna rain tomorrow too

 

Buy my left JDM tail for $30 =P. I think user Patrickgsr94 or something had a whole write-up on making the gaskets back in the day.
