Default Leak in the trunk/boot

Water is getting into the trunk of my teg. I can't locate the exact point of where the water is coming from. It's been this way since I bought the car in May but I'm worrying about it now because of the winter coming up and it rains a lot in the UK

Anyone ever had leaks in the trunk? Just thinking it maybe a common prob with Integra's? Would be grateful if someone could point be in any direction lol.

Nope, that's it right there. It's your taillight gasket.

Either try to get some new ones, or remove your taillight and mess with the gasket a little. Re-seat it snugly and maybe put some sealant on it.

It's quite a common problem actually. Don't let it get worse, because the water will eventually find it's way to the front of the car and pool around the driver's and passenger's footwell area. Trust me, I know.

i agree, everytime it rains, I use my super absorber back there
tried to buy a set of heavy duty gaskets off ragejed off HT (member in CT) but he stopped making them......and I never got to buy a set.
