1993 Q45 water in trunk under antenna assembly

[Infinitiguy19]

I noticed a while ago that there is some water to the left side of the trunk. I took out the antenna assembly and reseated it to make sure that its not coming from there. The water striping has no cracks or tears and is in good shape. So any ideas whats causing the leak?

So my list:Fix trunk leakFix StumbleReplace HVAC display

Then:Flush coolant, power steering and trans fluid.Replace or rebiuld FR caliper-Not really bad but would like to replace it.replace or fix tail lamp sensorGet exhaust dampnersSee why the oil pressure light is on-BG 109 is fixing itReplaced PCV Replace right rear seat holder.Put all screws back in interiorGet new foam for radiator and condensor (In between them)all four door checks (Things that make squeaking noise)get washer sensor-Got it just need to put it in.New dome lighttimer control unit if thats the problem

And then ofcourse there is the suspension.... Makes me wish I never really read most of Q45techs, NICO and the old Infiniti board posts.

The antenna assembly should have a 6 inch +/- drain hose attached to the bottom of it which you push through the grommet in the inner fender to drain water OUT of the trunk.

The antenna drain hose is secured to the grommet, Wonder if it could be leaking from there.

There is another drain plug (Red in picture shown) I have no idea what leads to it or what needs the drain plug. And it can't be the sun roof drain plugs because those are more to the front of the car.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Have someone you trust spray the car with a garden hose while you're locked in the trunk with a flashlight. This works best with no nozzle so that they can run water in a sheeting pattern instead of spraying it at a point.

Follow the rusty streak in the picture next to the pink wire and you'll find your leak. It looks like you may need need new gaskets on the antenna mount.

Isn't there a hose coming from the sunroof drain right side that ties into the antenna drain? Paul- Remove the trim panel and use a flashlight to verify that all the clear hoses are connected properly.
