Hi,


Im having a big problem with finding the solution for my waterleakage problem.

On the beginning it wasnt much but now its around a gallon.

On both sides of my trunk theres water in the place where the jack is.

It doesnt dissapear out of its own but i dont know if there?s a ventilation point at all.

Does someone else had or has this problem and knows the solution???


Thnx already,


ps. i already checked the taillights but dont think thats the problem.

I am having the same problem and it doesnt help that I live in seattle
I am thinking of drilling extra holes underneath so the water can escape.
THere are little drain plugs in the bottom of the areas, Atleast there is one on the drivers sidew. IT might be plugged up with a piece of rubber. Look underneather the area and you should see it. I haad the same problem and just removed the rubber piece.

Your main concern should be the water leaking in. On my car there is a metal join where the water should run around the trunk. TUrns out that was leaking. I just let the car dry for like 2 days then cleaned it really well and put silicone across and tried to cram it inthe joint as much as I could. I have not had any leaking problems since.

Hope this helps
I had the same problem with my car awhile ago. I hopped in the trunk, took a sponge with me and bailed it all out. I found that the gasket on my hatch wasnt seating properly with my hatch up at the top. All i did was i put some RTV silicone up above the gasket and its been fine since.
i have the same problem, but i think i know where its coming from. iono how to explain but maybe ill post a pix.

<--- I miss :'' (
I found about a gallon in my car awhile back too where the jack goes...man it smells good too! HAHA j/K. I just pulled the rubber plug on the bottom of the rear fender and drained it.
