    Default Need some help with water leakage,,,,

    I have my DB ( 4door 94-01 integra) and it leaking in the trunk ,,, I changed the trunk molding thing and It still leaks,,,, I adjusted the trunk and no change,,, I had to drill holes in the trunk to stop water from building up and going towards the front of the car,,,,,,,,,,, is there any silicon or special spray that I can put on the molding so it can maybe help stop the leaking, any advice or suggestions please ,,,,,

    my prelude does the same crap, pisses me off, i had to also drill holes at the bottom of the spare tire compartment to keep water from building up, the only thing i can think of it either the tail lights seal, or the drain tubes that come from the sides of the sunroof under the headliner

    so when you sat in the back seat and trunk, and used a hose to pour water down the trunk, where was it leaking exactly? did the quarter panels or rear have an accident before? maybe the previous owner, replaced a quarter panel, and didnt align correctly. Try that water hose technique and see what exactly is happening. Then make sure the trunk gasket/weather stripping is sitting properly.

    the only factor i can think of it either the end lighting closure, or the strain pipes that come from the edges of the sunroof under the headliner . . .
