Going through the process of elimination I was able to determine where water was leaking into the trunk. Until now I have never personally come across this cause for a water leak. I would have assumed the taillight gaskets failed and were now leaking.

Thanks for the video. I just discovered my 07 accord had a trunk leak when my kid could not get the spare out. Called roadside assistance and the two truck operator used, "A huge hammer" and just went to town. To anyone who has experienced this leaking issue, MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET THE SPARE OUT!!!... DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!!! Apparently it was no mean feat.... and if it is stuck... HAMMER TIME~ That said, a Dremel with a cutting blade would probably be a lot easier...

@nancybarry8572 Год назад

I have the exact Honda and my trunk had water in it for the 1st time and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, so I'm going to try this!! Thank you :)

@davidbelitz7692 5 лет назад

"Through the roof" sealant is perfect. You can apply it when it's wet and down to 20 below. Last way longer than silicone

@mooglemy3813 3 года назад

Good stuff. New Honda leak for me looks like the sealer Honda used was insufficient, under applied or poor. However Honda trunk leaks I've repaired so far were 15 years old or older. 06 civic EX I bought new is as weird as the one you showed but follows a similar root cause. Tks Again.

I determined the same cause on my '03 Accord, but searched online for extra verification to see that what I expected is likely, and for sealants to use. Nice video, thanks.

Thanks for the video, i have the same issue with my Fiat Grande Punto, and thought to check the tail lights first, but see from this it can be severel things. So i will wait till it's dry, through a bucket of water on it, and look for leakage.

@ryanm66381 5 лет назад

I think my '04 Accord has an analogous problem where the old seal gave out. I gave this a shot because the main weatherstrip didn't look like the culprit. My end result wasn't as cosmetically pleasing as yours, but I'll see if it gets the job done.

Thanks for the great video, did you peel that dried gasket(I think?) before placing the silicone? or did you just put the silicone over everything? Thanks much for the response.

@TweekerDan1984 Год назад

@Guguj Yes I did remove the old gasket. Rubbing alcohol and a razor made removing the gasket very easy.

Im having the same problem too but I have a rust hole on top of my muffler right now inside my trunk that I want to fix, I'm nor trying to to pay more for how much I for the car for.. Just a easy fix up for the time being with this beater of mine... I'll have to look into that seal later on.. Thank you

They sell a tape that could work or you could use silicone, sheet metal and short screws for a quick fix.

@doconnell1713 Год назад

I have a’17 Accord and noticed my trunk was wet, possibly a seal or something else, but hopefully the panels aren’t coming apart yet

@TweekerDan1984 Год назад

D O’Connell I would check and clean the weather stripping around the trunk lid, does your vehicle have a rear fin on the trunk and do you by chance live in a hot climate?

@Skatrdude583 5 лет назад

Great video. Any issues with leaking inside the cars cabin? I have the same car

@TweekerDan1984 5 лет назад

Not on this car but on others I’ve had the drain channels that run near the front door hinges get clogged with debris like pine needles and leafs. The channel drains at the front mid flap. If it gets clogged your floorboards may become wet.

@THERIPPER216 5 лет назад

TweekerDan1984 does this same thing apply for 7th gen accords?

@morganallen5309 4 года назад

Sunroof drain hoses are bad about shrinking out of the downspouts close to the kickpanels, other times they’ll get clogged with debris

I have the same exact problem on my 02 accord. What did you use to clean the surface?

@TweekerDan1984 3 года назад

Brake cleaner works really well, although hot water, a rag and a brush also does the trick.

@timm9631 2 года назад

What tools did you use to get out the old silicone? I want to be careful not to scratch the paint.

@TweekerDan1984 2 года назад

@Tim M I used a plastic scraper, a razor and alcohol/brake cleaner. It was a tedious process but has worked great even today.

These civics are know to have leak issues. Just fixed many of mine on my 2008 civic. Used FlexSeal on all the body seams. Had to remove the rear window removed, clean the window cutout opening and the glass itself. Flexsealed the body seams under the glass, had the glass reset. Now dry. Still can't get door window leaks stopped even by installed new seals. Grrrrrrr!

@Mickster holy cow! Are you getting the leaks up front on the floorboards?

@mickster4455 Год назад

@@TweekerDan1984 Yes, it was coming from the body seams. The sealant Honda used was crap. it dries out and cracks allowing water in through the body pinch seams.

My leak is horrible in my trunk. I drilled a hole in the bottom so the water could run out also it causes shorts in my tail lights they get filled with water and as soon as I lift my trunk the water pours out of the passenger side rear lights

@TweekerDan1984 5 лет назад

Sounds like the gaskets for the lights are failing. I hope the video helped.
