92Lex Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Maybe the trunk seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnLS Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I had the same problem few weeks back. Just take the seal off and put some silicone between the seal and the edge of the trunk where the seal attaches to. Mine had leaked under the seal which was quite amazing. That fixed the problem for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are inside you can pinpoint the leak location then look for cause. Good luck Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92Lex Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 There may be rubber plugs that are missing in the trunk. Lift up the carpet, remove the spare wheel and make sure all the holes in the sheet metal have plugs in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92Lex Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Hose down the power antenna seal and see if the trunk gets wet or not. You probably also want to confirm that the drainage holes for the sunroof aren't clogged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acflye Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hose down the power antenna seal and see if the trunk gets wet or not. You probably also want to confirm that the drainage holes for the sunroof aren't clogged. Wanted to throw my 2 cents in.....my sunroof leaks around the headliner on the rear driver side, water collects in the small light in the upper corner in rear seat behind driver. My trunk also leaks water when it rains....I did pull up the carpet in the trunk that covers the spare tire and pulled back the liner under the lil tool box and found a rubber hose (clear), I blew that line with low pressure and could hear the air blowing in the car around where the water is getting in my head liner.....I need to remove the paneling that holds the head liner on that side to see if the hose has disconnected there....has anyone ever remove the top panel on the driverside........

sheab Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 How do you seal the power antenna? hmmm ... well tell you the truth .. if you want to seal the power antenna you have to get new antenna or new antenna seal i guess ... but what i did was remove the trunk carpet + side cover and open the antenna motor and put alot silicon by the whole and did the same on top of the car but be very smooth/carefull so make sure no one can notice that silicon is there lol ...

When you had access to it at the top, you should have run some air pressure through it to make sure it was completely open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acflye Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 [ I had the same problem, check your headliner in the car (back seat area) for moisture.....I had water on the headliner and 1 1/2 in water where my spare wheel was......I removed the paneling and THERE IT WAS...my sunroof drain line had come detached for some reason........hooked it back up and put my car through a heavy rainstorm here in Texas and NO LEAK in either place..........so, it can be the sunroof drain, but you would also get water on your headliner..........
