Default Interior car leak problems 90-93 integra

It just poured in so cal these past few days...

i have had water leak into my trunk and water seep into the front area of the cabin.
i already changed the seals under the cover of my hood from the DIY in the forums.

my guess is the front windshield needs to be taken off and re-sealed.
i dont really know whats going on with the trunk.
i cant put anything in there because it just puddles up.

is anyone else having this issue with their 90-93 integra?

Tail light gaskets, #4... http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...ystemcomp=List All&vinnoT=&trim=&trans=&view=normal assuming it's a hatch, the 4 door is diff.

The other problem may be the sun roof drain(s)... http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...ystemcomp=List All&vinnoT=&trim=&trans=&view=normal may have come disconnected at some point.

I would also check the pressure relief "vent", on the inner panel, just below the power ant., behind the rear inside quarter trim panel. 94

sunroof drains i guarantee it, happened to me just seal it with some waterproof sealant.

one in trunk is behind the plastic covers on passenger side..(just look for the clear tube and follow it)

one in front is a pain, gotta go up behind a whole crap load of stuff on the passenger side.

just clean and seal them and your good

pretty much.

You will need to strip the interior to see where the leaks are, just sitting in the car with someone hosing it down is not going to work, all the leaks mentioned above are behind trim paneling.

Both the power ant. and the tail lights a common leak points on your car. 94

Just pull away the carpet panels look around the antenna for water and the taillights or the weather stripping around the hatch trunk that's how I found mine

Wanted to introduce myself. Jim Fillmore, Detroit Muscle Technologies. We make body and heater box restoration gaskets for muscle cars; mostly old Mopars like Barracuda's and Charger. BUT we have had a bunch of requests from BMW, Honda, Mazda, etc guys for taillight gaskets to fix the exact same problem this post refers to. Seems like most of the auto manufacturers used/spec'd or were supplied gaskets made from very low quality materials. After a few years the gaskets take a set and are no longer resilient enough to do their job. We make premium gaskets for old cars from the most expensive, highest quality materials available. Even though the raw material costs have gone up double digits every year we refuse to use a lesser quality product. We currently make taillight gaskets for 93-97 and 98-01 3dr models. At this time I only have them listed in our Ebay store (search for DMT ACURA). Are there any other "trouble" taillight gaskets that need a better version of the OEM gaskets?

Thanks!
