97 Civic LX Sedan - Trunk Leak
97 Civic LX Sedan - Trunk Leak
I've done some searches but did not see anything that looked like the leak problem I am having.
I have water entering my trunk. I have included links to three photos showing the source of the leak on the inside. I am having a problem identifying where the water is entering from. The leak is located at a metal to metal seam underneath the rear body panel adjacent to the trunk lid opening on the right side of the car. The pictures show it better than I can explain.

I have sealed with silicone around the rear window (both sides of black molding). I was thinking that the seam may be open underneath the molding. But I still have water coming in. I am thinking that the glass may have to be pulled so I can identify the problem.
I would appreciate any ideas for me to explore. Thank you.

Re: 97 Civic LX Sedan - Trunk Leak
check the seal around the tail lights and the trunk lid rubber, maybe take it to a car wash and drop the back seat and get in there with a flashlight while a friend pressure washes it to see where its getting in. All the silicone in the world will not seal a window that is leaking it needs to be removed and resealed, if you have rust forming under there that can break the seal.
