Leak
mine didnt leak until i gutted the interior... now it leaks where my tailights are... im guessing it leaks cause the plastic cover isnt over the tail lights anymore and it allows a slight gap for water to sneak into... its blown a few bulbs already so everytime it rains i have to check my tail lights... ive heard of putting silicone around where the tail lights are... could anyone whos done this tell me exactly how they did it?
The leak shouldnt have anything to do with removing the interior plastic. I put silicone/putty on my taillight to stop it from leaking. I did the passenger side only to see if it made a difference, and I dont think there is any water coming in on that side now, just have to find the time to do the driver side.
What I did:
Remove the tailights, clean all the dirt and dust off on the car, tail light, and everything. Pull off the foam gasket from the tailight. Try to clean the gasket up too if its got dirt on it. Spread the silicone in between the gasket/ light and gasket/car. Apply the silicone on both sides, then put the Taillight back in. This should slow it down, or stop it. It should be easier to tell if it still leaks because u have no interior, its hard to tell where the water is coming from with all the plastic still intact

Hope that helps....
I have the same leak where the hatch pistons connect to the car, i havent figured them out yet... I have heard that it could have something to do with your sunroof drain tubes?? If you have one...idk

yeah, i did the silicone thing too, i heard thats one of the main places for a 4th gen to leak, and that i needed new gaskets, but i heard silicone works too, so i tried it, and no more leak that i've noticed
