Trunk leak still
I have a 94 integra coupe and I have replaced the tailight gaskets to fix my water leak but no luck. The rear wiper is deleted and I checked the plug and is still sealed. Also I have made sure the moonroof drain tubes are in the right spot. How can i double check them? The front drains you can just put water down them and see them drain out the inside of the fender. So anymore ideas or tips would be great thanks for any help
I had this exact same problem. The water was coming from my moonroof drain tubes AND my taillights. Along with making sure the drain tubes are in the right place, you may also want to blow the tubes out with compressed air to make sure it's clear of debris. Also, my taillight gaskets were still good, but the sealant used to attach the lenses to the housings was not. I disassembled one of mine with a heat gun and a flat head screw driver as an alternative to baking to avoid warping anything. Works like a charm. I removed as much of the excess sealant as I could and then resealed it with silicone. I just ran silicone around the edge of the other assembly to save time and it works just as well.
Long story short, make sure your drain tubes are clear and try re-sealing your tails.

i had the same problem, but after removing the interior panels and carpet in the trunk i found a split seam in the trunk above where the tire would be, siliconed it and have been good since. So you might wanna remove the panels and carpet because it possible that the water is being slung up by the tires through broken body seams.

There's not much to it. Just get a tube of clear silicone sealant and a caulk gun, run a bead along the top edge of the lens, and use your finger to smooth out the bead. It's not that hard. Be careful to not to cut the hole in the end of the sealant tube too large, or the bead will be too large and you'll have a big mess of sealant everywhere when you try to smooth it out.
