I searched but didnt find anything so i was just wondering if any DC5 owners have had trouble with water leaking into your spare tire compartment? If so what have yall done to stop it. I have checked all my seals and all are good.

 

yup welcome to the DC world....

it's usually the tail light seals. Usually always actually... I'd buy new ones and put them on... I had a small problem with my DC2 leaking water so when i changed seals I also used clear silicone

 

I have it all the time. Have no idea where it comes from but its too much water for it tp come from small leaks. I put a towel in there and change it every few weeks lol

 

thanks.

 

Hahaha. My old Integra leaked as well, but it was in an accident and I don't think it was repaired properly. If the DC5 is anything like the DC2, check the sunroof drain tubes to make sure they are draining outside of the car, and not in your trunk. You'll have to remove the plastic paneling in the trunk to investigate.

 

taillight seals, get new ones and use silicone,also sunroof drain tubes, and crap gets under the weather stripping for the hatch.

 

more like a Honda problem..my civics did the exact same thing. I had a gutted civic hatch and lets just say, my rubber duckie was a floating passenger in the trunk

 

Hmm, I've had a bunch of Civics and Integras. Never had any problems with water inside the car, lucky me

 

i have only had my dc5 for about a month and a half but the day i was looking at it i noticed there was a little water in there...now i know why..next time it rains ill have to check it out.

 

oh yeah...it was raining the day i looked at it aswell

 

DC2 leaks if the light s aren't properly seated or sealed ans the slightest bidy flex acan cuase this, maybe the DC5 is similar. I have to clear silicone the top of the entire taillamp assembly where the water is desinged to run off into the middle of the trunk hatch.

 

I have this problem. I have 2 new OEM gaskets in my room waiting to be installed on the tails. Part # 33502-S6M-A11

 

thanks for the part number
