    Water in the trunk

    Hey guys need some help on figuring out why i have crap load of water in the trunk? I knew i have the issue in the past so i thought i fixed it, but i guess not. Opened my trunk today and its full of water on both sides(battery side and the antenna side). I have no idea where its leacking from please give me some areas of focus that the water may leack from. Thanks.

    taillight gaskets, spoiler missing seals at bolt holes (clogged drain at spoiler sides), bad antenna grommet or lastly...trunk lid gasket. check in this order. if you have a spoiler, it's not a bad idea to remove it yearly to clean out drain slots.

        If you have a car that came with a spoiler add 1 more to the list: the little spot weld at the rear mounting point for the trunk hinge, just outside the trunk seal.

          There are also air vents in the same area, pull away the fabric and you'll see them. They have rubber gaskets and probably are not the culprit but the sunroof drain tube may have fallen off of its mounting and is emptying rain water into your trunk. You could also be getting it from a hole in your rear wheel well :(
