Default Water leak in the trunk of a 2002 Civic SI

After it rains I find water on the left side of my Civic SI trunk. I believe that the water drains in through the 5 slots shown in the attached picture. But how the water gets to the slots? Has anybody experienced a similar problem in this car model?

Thanks

has this going on too. I found out it was the taillight gaskets that needed to be replaced. if that doesn't help you I would try removing the the interior in the back and have a buddy go with you to the car wash. Have them spray while you get inside of the back hatch and try to get an eye on a leak. The rear glass, rear hatch, and the roof drains can all be suspect as well. If you still cannot find it, make up a batch off colored water and try leak searching again.

Thanks for your reply. The water was leaking into the car through the spoiler located at the rear end of the roof of the car.

This is good to know. jp-carparts.com has the assembly seal gasket for $8.79 each. Part number # 71700-S6M-Z01. I will be ordering a set of these today.
