leak

[justin240]

i have a bit of a rust problem in the spare wheel well or my hatchback water is getting in somehow and i cant find the leak, its a big one, i had a small puddle in the bottom of the hatch just from washing my car, any ideas where i might find and seal this leak would be much appreciated

Try searching. I know this has been covered before.

I assume you have checked the obvious weather striping around the hatch?

Seem to remember somthign about leaks around the tail lights.

lay inside car and have someone go over the car with water hose, thats usually an easy way to find and pinpoint leaks.

check ffor wet spots around the weather stripping after running hos over it

i have the same problem, at the beginig i think was the hatch weather strip but later i find the leak was comming from the rear lights and center panel, the seal on the rear lights use a sticky strip and eventually leave water to come in trough as well as rubber washers that goes under de nuts thats hold the lights...

im pretty sure it is the lights but i cant find where they are leaking, my weather striping is fine, but i will check all the bolts and pull the whole rear end interior apart if i have to

take off the center rear tail light (the one with the back up light)... clean or shave the old seal/gasket and seal it right... my cars doing the same thing too...
