Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 200492 Accord truck leak
I found some water in my trunk after a recent rain. Where can I look to find the leak? It was wet on the drivers side near the middle. TIA  Signature"God bless those pagans" sounds like maybe the back window.best thing to do is have a friend spray a ton of water while you are in there(the trunk) with a flashlight > I found some water in my trunk after a recent rain.

Check the tail lights, if there's water in them then they need to be dried out and the gaskets should be replaced. I've seen quite a few people driving around with tail lights that look more like fishbowls. Another common source of water is the trunk lid gasket. On my '88 Civic I found that I only had water leaking into my trunk when the car was parked facing downhill. Water would accumulate in the front corners of the drainage channel and then leak past the seal. Replacing the seal solved this problem. Try http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com if you need parts.

Try http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com if you need parts. I second what Eric said and suggest either (1) as Eric said, replacing all rear light assemblies' gaskets with new ones, or (2) disassembling all rear light assemblies, thoroughly cleaning the old gaskets, then use a caulking gun and apply a bead of silicone appropriate to the temperature range you anticipate on both sides of each gasket where it's supposed to seal. Water was getting into my rear light assemblies and trunk a couple of years ago. I did (2) above and have had no problems since. The drawback to (2) is that when this fix fails, cleaning off the old silicone may be a PITA. I can second what the other guys said about the gaskets. I took my 92 Accord to the shop and told them to look at the same problem you have. They also told me about the gaskets. I have to wait til it rains here in Houston, TX to verify it.
