Default Leaking tails!!! (did a search)

Ok did a search on "leaking taillights", "taillight leaks" etc. And nothing came up. I know there is post on here about it but nothing pops up. But here goes typical taillight leak on tails from a 91 Crx. How can i fix this. Do i need new gaskets? The lil gasket between the taillight and the body is soaked. We've had alot of rain here lately in Arizona and i found a puddle in my spare tire area.
Leak #2
Comes from my rear lift arm area. Where they connect to the body (car), Not the ones that attach to the hatch itself. Anyone else have this problem and fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rear interiori will be out of the car soon so it doesn't get anymore damaged than it already is but i still need to take car of the leaking tails. Thanks!!!

pull taillights out, put a bead of silicone all the way around them, put them back in, then test out the new seal, try spraying the car with a hose.

from what it sounds like your telling me to do, it sounds like i'm gettign watter in my taillights.it's actually going past that and i'm getting it in my spare tire area. i don't see how the bead of silicone will help there as there is still an open area for water to get in.

Bro, i am having the same problem with my 89 CRX. I tried the bead of silicone around the tailights for leak 1. But i still havent found anything for leak 2. Now i am waiting on more rain, to see if "natural" water still seeps in... But its mad annoying when u have 2 inches of water swishing around in the back of your car like it's its job

you put the bead of silicone between the taillights and the car itself, so where the taillights come into contact with the car is where the silicone should go, that make sense?? sorry, i should have tried to explain it better

This may sound stupid, but you have you checked your sunroof drains? they can get clogged and back up into your spare tire well.

i get leaks from my taillgihts, i get leaks from the hatch gas strut arm or whatever, and i get leaks from the sides (quarter panels), i think that has to do with the side molding on the outside of the car because if you pop it off there are holes where the clip was and that clip cannot be holding out water, so im not sure what the hell to do either
