ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!
Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

The gasket for the taillights is probably gone bad. There is a DIY on here where they use a mouse pad to create the gasket.
But best way to find it is have someone with a hose go all around the trunk while you lay inside(back seat down) and look and see where the water is coming from.~Nick~

Common leak points:
- Tail light gaskets (this is probably the most common source)
- Trunk seal
- Gaskets on the clips that hold the lower chrome trim on the rear windshield
- Vent on the left side of the trunk
- bumper support clips (about 1/2 way between the wheel well and rear corner of the car)
- Antenna grommet
- Rust through the wheel wells
Easiest way to find a leak is to remove the trunk lining, put the back seat down, watch from inside the car while someone runs water over the rear window and trunk area. Several DIYs available on finding and correcting water leaks.
Where specifically does the water show up?90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

replacement???
Unfortunately for me I got my car years after the leak stated and it was siliconed away, and now needs new sheet? welded in. But before I go there id like to see if anyone knows if they sell that part of the body as a replacement panel, or would I have to tear up one somewhere and cut out the section needed?
