I was dealing with a bad trunk leak for the longest time and finally solved it by using a few tricks. Most people think the leak comes from the sunroof tubes, but I found that the issue in my case was the quarter panel seams were slightly cracked.
I found the tail light gaskets on ebay
The butyl was also on ebay (search retrofit sealer)

I've been having the same problem in my 99 civic si. I just had the entire car painted, but I still need to address some issues with the trunk. Thanks for this video. I'll definitely have the body shop take a look at those seams.

It's not the seams trust me there's holes behind the bumper also that plug in the bottom sometimes let's water in

@@sneezinhatch Nope. It was the seams. I popped the trunk shortly after watching this video, and the seam on the right side was separating. I took it back to the body shop, had them sand and use the body glue on both sides, and repaint it. It hasn't leaked since. All good now!

Thumbs up and comment for the One Week BNL reference. I hope your method fixes my trunk leak, too.

Thank you for the vid :))) I had the same issue so: you have to use seam sealer I applied today from the roof to the trunk on my hatchback Yaris 2008 because it was coming water from the cracks as you mention but don’t use silicone on metal and I applied black silicone on the weatherstrip and tail lights seals and is perfect so far :))

My money goes to that crack. I think that was your main cause of the amount of water. Would make sense seeing how much water you had in that compartment

Hi, there is a big round rubber grommet to drain the flood from the spare tyre at the bottom.

Thanks for the vid, what do I search exactly for the gaskets. I can’t seem to find them on eBay

My trunk gets wet AF I know there has to be mold by now... the wetness makes my car smell especially during a hot day after rain

@OhItsJustZhu 4 жыл бұрын

That's the worst! Before I fixed it, I would wait for a sunny day and leave all the doors and the trunk open to hopefully dry everything out. It sucked.

Where did you get the new/replacement gaskets?

@OhItsJustZhu 3 жыл бұрын

There is a guy on ebay that is selling aftermarket replacements. They're a bit thicker than OEM so i think that helps with creating a stronger seal. Hope that helps.
