Since I purchased my car... I've always had water condesation inside my tail lights for some reason.

The other day, I was just looking over my car after i washed it, and I noticed that the trunk is not sealed against the body of the car... there is a 1/4-1/2 inch crack from the outer edge of the trunk to the body of the car.... rain water... and whatever else is free to fall into there and trip down into the car....

what's the deal... i realize that the trunk has to have the 1/4-1/2 inch space to be able to open.... but where's all that water go that gets in those cracks?

 

do you have a sunroof? if so it is probably one of the drain tubes. it is possible that the weatherstripping on the trunk is bad and that is what is causing it. trunk leakage is a common problem with the integra but it is not expensive or hard to fix.

 

i have a sunroof... my cars an intera 00 ls

 

my 90 integra does the same thing. i just quit worrying about it and found a site that says it might be a seal on the tailight itself.

 

taillight gaskets? ohh look i'm selling!

 

anyone else have ideas of where the water goes when it gets down that crack?

 

i blew the air out of my rear tails.

water not only seep through the seam of the red light but also where the plastic clips are that hold the light together. This was only made evident when i blue air throught he light bulb sockets.

This is a typical integra trait. You could seal the lights up further but there's no guarantee that it wont stop the condensation.

 

You can put some aquarium sealant there to seal the cracks, solved my problems

 

thanks for all the info... it's obvious waters getting into the tail lights.... but where's all the rest of it going... a LOT of rain could get through the crack between the trunk and the body of the car... so where's it all go? is it drained out or rusting the crap out of tegs?
