Hey guys i live in new jersey and recently it has been raining alot i went to get some bags out of my trunk and noticed that the bottom part was filled with water the part where the spare tire is. Im wondering if i have a leaky trunk or its just a seal the only mod i have to the back of my car are altezza carbon fiber tail lights, has anyone experienced this type of problem? Leaky trunk syndrome anyone?

nope, only time I got water in my trunk was when I had a 1 gallon water bottle break open back there. Oops!

 

Bump

 

man that sucks. you check the seals arounf the trunk?

 

could be the actual lights...
two ways to test it...
1)put a bright light in the trunk and see if you can see any holes?
2)put something that makes quiet niose/music in the trunk and see if you can hear through the seal breaks

 

I have an Evo with this problem

 

make sure your weather stripping is all there

 

Climb in your trunk with a flashlight, and have a friend spray the back of the car with a hose.



(There is a release lever in there, if you can't get your friend to let you out.)

 

 

Im taking it to the dealer and letting them deal with it i bought this car brand new these kind of things shouldnt be happening. If i wanted leaky seals i would have bought a used car.

 

My trunk is okay.. beside I live in rainy city, the "SEATTLE." July and August are the only month that we don't get that much rain but after.....MAN, it's gonna be raining all year long till summer time again.

 

haha that was hilarious.

thats a good bet though, or just lay a big blanket or towels in ur trunk, than spray it with a hose for like...an hour or 2 ....than open the trunk and see where any wetspots are

 

this sounds like a better idea than actually gettin in the trunk... imo...
