has anybody had a trunk leak to their sol? or condensation on the inside top of their trunk? if you know how to fix it, please tell me.

 

i dont have a sol (unfortunately) so i could be wrong........ but, a trunk leak would suggest the rubber thingie around the trunk is torn, worn, or just out of place... or your trunk is not properly aligned with the body.........

 

yea i thought of the weather stripping already.. just wanted to know if anybody else has this problem on their sol and know how to fix it... somebody already gave me a good site on how to fix a leak from water/rain... anybody have a problem with having condensation on the inside top of their trunk?...

 

if not the weather strips, check the seals behind the taillamps.

 

a guy sent me a site of a how-to on replacing clips that keep water from getting in... so yea about the condensation...?

 

i have a 93 civic coupe and i recently just took out my spare tire and there was water collecting below it, plus theres ussally condnsation on my sub in the morning. anybody know why, or do you think its the same problem as above?

 

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM,BUT WITH BOTH MY TEG AND MY HATCH.WHEN I GO THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC CARWASHES IVE TRIED TO FIND THE LEAKS,BUT COULDNT FIND ANYTHING.LET ME KNOW IF SOMEONE FIGURES THAT ONE OUT BEFORE ME.

 

its the clips that attach the two panel pieces on the left and right above the trunk, also its the antennae, i've fixed the leaks in about 7 del sol's here in 'peg city

i had the exact same problem in my '94 coupe, and it turned out to be coming through the panel behind the license plate. of the four nuts that hold it on, three were loose, and water had clearly been pouring right through each one. i tightened those, and i'm golden.

 

like i have the leak in the same place as jl illusionz
damn anyone know why
i'm getting my trunk shaved and resprayed

 

yeah ive got some leakage in my sol too, but its not anything listed here, i think its that little valve under the sail pane. i just can't figure out how to get the sail panel off! heres some links that might help:

You won't get rid of the condensation until you are able to stop moisture from getting in there. So fix your seal, align the lid properly, or whatever the problem is and the condensation should stop.

 

remove the tail ights and clean off the seals &gt;&gt; that should do the trick. it has worked for me on civics and an accord. you might need new ones if they look dry or old. they cost maybe 25 beans at the dealer

 

Tail light has openings and when you get water in the trunk, condensation occurs. My hatch used to leak due to bad gasket. After I replace those, problem solved. I suggest you replace gaskets every 2 years. They are cheap.

Weather strip on the other hand, are rather hard to leak compare to gaskets.
