I was planning on doing some cf housing for subs in my trunk but when i took out the carpt to get my measurment i found a puddle of water. The right side edge of the carpet was noticably soaked aswell. Have any of you had this problem?
theres rectangular box kinda like a filter box in the truck right behind the rear driver side wheel well underneath the carpet. That'll do it. it'll get flooded with water during normal driving. Driving around for 2 days in the rain will do it. Its horrible cuz it made my car smeel like ****. I just covered it up with some plastic bags and duct tape. No problems so far....but my car still stinks....Take a look cuz mine happened after 2 years and when I went to investigate there was this 4X8 gapping hole. Again right behind the driver side wheel wheel right above the wheel.....

thanks for the help guys
BoSS: I know the box you are talking about but I got water coming from the other side. The passenger side.
I did a search and someone said the problem was a faulty sealing around the gas lid, could this be the problem?

i know there's a tube on the driver's side in the rear... i dont remember if there is one on the passenger side
i had the same problem over the winter too.
i had water in my trunk and i thought i just left something wet in there.. but when it happened for a 2nd time... kind of got me thinking.
but that was then... maybe i'll check my trunk to see if there are faulty leaking some where... o_O

Trunk puddle Solution =
1. Remove the rear bumper.
2. Checked the hose assembly for clogs, leaks (sunroof drain) replace as needed
3. Remove Air Vent Assembly (passenger side trunk - hidden under bumper)
3. 2 part Epoxy seal the rubber vent flap SHUT (this flap allows trunk to vent)
4. Silicone the $hit out of it (no ventilation = no leaks )
5. Silicone the inside edge / perimeter - reattach to body via clips -
6. Seal the outside edge, with more silicone - repeat in trunk interior
7. Re-install bumper , trunk carpeting
Ta _ Da !!!! No mo leaks. Silicone dat biotch shut ta keep 'er dry.
