trunk leak troubleshooting

Hi all,

I have a leak in the trunk that causes water to pool on the spare tire area. I hosed down the trunk area and have made these observations.


Inside the trunk, the area behind the green marker is wet and water would travel down from (??) through this area.



The green and red markers mark the areas that I hosed. I started low and moved my way up.

Green area (basically the whole trunk) = no leaks
Red area (by rear windshield seam) = leak

Could it be that the rear windshield seal is compromised and that I just need to get a glass shop to reseal? Is there anything else that I need to check to figure out the cause of this leak?

Thanks!

Re: trunk leak troubleshooting

I would guess that water is getting inside the c-pillar and dripping down, which could be delayed slightly before you see it, so would use small amounts of water and work slowing in testing areas and seals. do you have a sun roof? on my 2002 coupe the sunroof drain runs though the c-pillar and that hose might be something to check also if you have it.
