I am assuming your car has a sunroof also?? If so, that's where the water's coming from. For the time being, I popped one of the drain grommets out so the water can drain out.

 

Water in the trunk would not be caused by the sunroof. all the 1st gens have this problem that i know if. it right by the JACK mounts and JACK in the trunk. There is a small leak on the gasket for the trunk lid, and somwhere else...im tryin to find the other spot where the water comes in at.

I only see water in my trunk when it POORS down raining and/or when i was my car with alot of water. Other than that...its pretty dry.


Its not like the trunk floods...if it does u got a problem with ur car.


Thats to my knowledge

 

Water in trunk whats that. havent seen that yet. and my car use to drive threw rain 8 months out of the year.

 

Yeah, but you also didn't get much sun, or weather extremes to dry out the gasket, which is what causes the problems.

Now that you are in an area with a winter... and a summer, those things should start leaking soon.

 

good thing im moving back in two years.

 

Hey Wil...post those pics that I sent you when I fixed my leaky trunk.

Water in Trunk


Ciao

 

ive never had water in the truck tho my rear reflector does fill with water somehow very retarted so i just drilled holes at the bottom of it i dunno if this could be problem or not cus if water gets in that and one of your bolts from the reflector 2 the inside are broken well water will get in

i have however gotten washer fluid in the trunk the thing started 2 leak then that whole side were the waser tank is in the truck rusted rite out from the inside out had a nice hole lol was funnie

 

Note: YOU MAY GET WET!!!!!!


lol

 

i was constantly looking i sealed somthing else off then another thing ,,,so finally with asistanse my friend blasted my trunk and rear window and what do ya know my rear window gasket seal rotted out so the easy solution to getting it fixed was to break your window lol just a suggestion

 

I sealed my taillights with silicone and it stopped leaking... In tightening the bolts I stripped some of them right out of the plastic, which sucked big time.... Silicone works, but does'nt look great... Even if you do a perfectly clean job (which I did, of course!) The silicone gets dirty cuz it's sticky... Whatever, it's better than rust or a wet sound system!

 

yeah i bought new gasket for the tail lites also don,t leak anymore but .What i meant to say was i had a water leak coming from the back window sorry

 

*bump* ugg...same prob..water in trunk..hopefully it is either the trunk seals or the taillight seals. I'll post when I find out

 

Its prob the tailight seals, I had a puddle in my car awhile back and had to replace mine. I also replaced the 2 rear door seals
