The white plastic vent? is leaking thru the bumper joint. Can this be removed w/o removing the bumper?

 

that allows your trunk to close easier (allowing air to escape)... why do you want to remove it?

 

Leaking water into trunk when it rains

Yep,.it is actually for all the doors...if you we're to see it wen you close a door...it flaps open to help them close smoother....although...Teg Doors sound like **** when you close em...wish it helped that!

that could be your taillight gaskets.
it was in my case.

 

hmm, is that one the passanger side of the trunk? if so, im not sure if i have that, cuz if its on that side, i have a light

 

most likely that has nothing to do with your leak.... there isn't really a good way for water to get from the outside to the inside thru that went.

Check your taillight gaskets. Also, does your car have a sunroof? If so check the sunroof drain tube. Its on the side of the car that you already removed the panel to get access to that vent. Just move forward and up the c-pillar and check along the tube to make sure it didn't become disconnected somewhere.

 

The seal around the vent is leaking a cup of water into the trunk after each rainfall, so I'm going to re-seal it with silicone. Water enters thru the gap between the bumber and body panel. The tail-light gaskets and sunroof drain tubes were also leaking which I already repaired.
