Today I was cleanig out my trunk and noticed when I lifted up the carpet there is about an inch or so of water in the spare tire well. The carpet pad is also soaked. It does rain a lot here but this has never happened before. Anyone know what could be causing this??

 

have you swapped your taillights recently? i discovered the same thing today, freaked the crap out of me. realized it was my taillights (run your finger along the casing on the inside of the trunk. get new sealant for you lights and pop them back in.

 

Scxe,
What sealant did you use? I have the same problem and want to seal the tailoght. Any hint?

 

I swapped in the 01 SE tails back in september. lots of rainy days since then and never noticed it. I will reseal them tomorrow. Anyone have any other ideas???

 

mine did this as well what i figured out after resealing the taillights 3 times is that the inside piece that the taillights mount to (in between the tailight and the trink lid) bent slightly when i installed them. So i just took out the tail light and pulled out on the piece a little and reinstalled the light and the leak stopped. It also helps if you can pour water over the lights and see where it comes in at.

Hope this helps
