Trunk Leak Gen 2

[NickMulhern]

Hey guys, so I started to wire up my rear speakers in my 1991 Integra GS, When i got to the Sub set up, I Started looking for a good ground spot for the Amp then i found that my TRUNK around the spare tire had filled with water during a a few days of rain. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

thats common in 2 gens the most common area are the taillights may need to swap out ur gaskets or tighten you nuts on them if not check your antenna drain or sunroof drain and see if they are fully connected

those 3 are super common, so start there. there is also a vent behind the rear bumper on each side of the car. it is to release cabin pressure when shutting the hatch. sometimes the seal on those wears out.

How do i fix the water coming front the vents in the trunck that relieve the pressure when closing the hatch

I've found these leaks are almost always from the taillights. I waited for a warm day, and just put a thin line of silicon and I haven't had water in my trunk since. Now getting my actual taillights to stop fogging up is a whole nother story.

yeah water through the vents is tail light gaskets, if you wait until the lights are good and dry and re-seal, you should notice a lot less moisture in them.

Sounds like the infamous cowl leak.

For the trunk leak, The 3 most common areas have been mentioned... For under the glove box, that is a cowl leak... The black plastic panel outside, under the windshield where the wiper arms are... The gaskets shrink or the plastic cracks. The only way to fix that is to replace all the gaskets under it and in some cases all of the plastics.
