It has to be the seal. Mine leaks water in, but only when I open it and it drips from the top

when you take all the carpeting out, there is a "vent type thing" behind it that goes through to the inner fender...the little flap opens up and leads to the outside...could that have anything to do with it?..

Mine does it too. Just take a water hose and look for the leak. Start from the bottom and work your way up. Once you find it feel it with some 3m or SEM seam sealer. Problem solved

okay, my car was the one that put this in the books for honda dealerships all over the country. The leak is comming from the fuel flashing inside. There is a black piece of plastic inside where the gas cap is, you need to open upthe trunk on on the side, start feeling for the fuel inlet. then use some silicone and fill that.
