Water in Trunk...

[ChrisR]

Like subject says, I get water in my trunk basically everytime it rains. Not a good thing when living in Pacific Northwest. I even put extra rubber grommets on the spoiler bolts, so it can't be coming in from there. Well, at least summer is getting closer.

Chris, I used to have a permanent puddle in my car when I first bought it. Dry it out and then do what I did. Get a garden hose and simulate rainstorm, pop the trunk open before all the h2o runs off and try to find the source. It may take a few times. When you finally see where it's coming from either replace the appropriate stripping or silicone the crap out of it until it stops leaking. thumbs_u

Thank you. I guess I just never looked into where exactly the water was coming from.

The most common source of Gen1/2 trunk leaks are the taillight gaskets.

That's where most of the water was coming in. Like I said, I just siliconed the crap out of them.

the good thing about this one Chris is you can take any gasket from a gen 1 slo for your car.
