Water Leaks Everywhere
Okay so I'm new here, and I've seen a bunch of threads about leaks in integras. But I've never seen anything with my problem specifically. I have a 1995 4-Door LS and I have the leak in the spare tire area. But I also my car gets wet on the floor by all 4 passenger doors and the rear seats get wet. I dont know if this is the sunroof, the taillight gaskets, a combination, or something completely different.

Re: Water Leaks Everywhere
To start with, I am pretty sure you have only 3 passengers doors and the forth is the drivers door, so is it all 3 passenger doors and the drivers door?
What do you mean the seats get wet, what part of the seats get wet?
You definatly have a major problem, my guess is it is a combination of things, [obviously] and with that many areas getting wet, I would gut the interior, pull everything.
Start with the common leaking problems, tail light gaskets, sun roof drain tubes, pressure relief vent once they have been dealt with, make sure interior is dry get inside and have someone spray water, [garden hose] all over the car from all angles, you should be able to see any other leaks.
What condition are the door gaskets in? 94

Park the car on DRY pavement. Retract the sunroof glass all the way. You have a drain-tube opening in each corner of the sunroof. Using a water bottle, pour water into each drain and see if it comes out behind each wheel. It should come out in direct proportion to the amount of water you poured in. If it does not, then the water is entering the interior.
Step 2:
Open the trunk. Remove the trunk floor trim, plus the trim covering the taillights. Now pour water into the drain channel between the fender edge and the rubber weatherstripping. The water will run down the channel and over the taillights. You may need to use lots of water. You can pour the water close to the taillight rather than far up the channel.
Step 3:
Leaving out all the trim, and after checking for leakage through the outer taillights, CLOSE the trunk. Now pour water over the INNER taillights.
Do the taillights get wet on the parts that protrude into the trunk? Or do they stay dry?
