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.

@sneezinhatch Год назад

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

@theangryveteran Год назад

@@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.

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

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 :))

Nice! Having to solve a leak isn't fun, but when you finally figure it out it feels great!

@@OhItsJustZhu I have 94 civic coupe with the same water leak problem. Gonna try your method. Thanks 🙏

@RomboutVersluijs 3 года назад

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

@Claasic 3 года назад

thanks for the help gonna seal mine up tonight since i found a frozen water puddle in my trunk today

@OhItsJustZhu 3 года назад

Oof, good luck! Hope this does the trick!

@REDRUMRum 2 года назад

this sorta helped but my main problem for my 98 honda accord is i get huge waterfalls from the left trunk lid. idk how water gets inside. everytime i open my trunk on a rainy day, water starts pourin from the hole where my bulbs are? any idea?

@djaric 3 года назад

Thanks for the seam tip. I think that might be my problem on a 97 civic.

@OhItsJustZhu 3 года назад

No problem! Glad it helps

@guapora Год назад

where can i buy the rubber gasket for the rear headlights online, thanks

@allegiovonn 3 года назад

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

@OhItsJustZhu 3 года назад

I just searched '2000 civic tail light gasket' and it was in one of the listings. Good luck!

@dkinley334 4 года назад

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 года назад

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.

@mjswifey08 4 года назад

mine had mold on my clothes I had back there and everything was wet. so im definitely going to check for the cracks now.

@billyrivers568 3 года назад

Sunroof drain tube ?? I guess I should check mines....had no idea, it had one.

@pauloamaral4925 3 года назад

There's actually 4 on the sunroof two in front sides and two in the back Fronts run down your wheel wells and the back ones run out the sides behind the rear bumper On drivers side it's About a foot below where the gas tank fill neck is

@billyrivers568 3 года назад

@@pauloamaral4925 Ok, thanks!!

@justinlocke 3 года назад

Where did you get the new/replacement gaskets?

@OhItsJustZhu 3 года назад

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.
