Trunk Leak

[bigfish2007]

For some reason when it rains the inside of my trunk gets wet. But the odd thing is I dont think its coming in from the top, I think its coming from underneath. I notice it up under the rug near my power antenna. Anybody know how water magicaly appears in my trunk.

I got the same problem only in my case its towards the center on the carpet. I figure its old weather stripping. I just pull the drain plugs sometimes and use towels.

Sounds like your trunk weather stripping has had it. The stuff is cheap from auto zone.

From what i know the molding around the rear windsheild uses clips that goes straight into the trunk and if they are loose the water gets in trough there. And you can just take out ur antenna and put some silicone around the mounting point and seal that up. Also check the gaskets on the tail lights

Mine leaked because of rust. I emptied the whole trunk and then used rubberizer spray on the entire thing. No more water, slowed down the rust, and kinda did sound dampening.

Also check the gaskets on the tail lights

I might wanna check those cause also it says that my brake lights are on after it rains. and when i open my trunk water comes out of the left tail light.

Check your tailight gaskets. They tend to leak, and water gets into the trunk. Try to get some silicone around the tailights.

I get my trunk wet too.. and i really looked into finding where it was comming from, and if yours is the same as my "leak", and comming from the left of the trunk, then its this wierd flappy device down by the bottom of the trunk.. i think its to let air or something ventilate through.. i donno, but i bet if you pull away the siding in the trunk on the left you'll see what i mean.. and i bet some water could be comming through that thing.. thats wheer is was comming from in my car.. and maybe my car is special and i'm the only one with that wierd ass contraption

I've fixed this problem a few times, more often than not its your tail lights. Use some silicone and seal the lens' of the outside tail lights. Not the gasket but the colored lens itself. What happens is water seaps in throught the lens and drain out the bulb ports, that could also be why your brake light comes on.

thats exactly what i did, i just used some household outside silicone to fill around the headlights on the inner, and it seemed to work well.

my trunk used to leak on both sides, then I i re-sealed the tail lights and now everything is dry

dam everybody too......my truck stays moist all the time a lil wet spots here and ........somebody must have hit my car when it was parked knocking the truck out of line

Easy way to check for leaks is have somone spray the trunk down with a hose while you drop the back seat down and crawl in there and see where the water is coming in from.
