It rained a bit on the east coast last night, and this morning when I popped open the trunk, I noticed a bit of water trickling from the rear opening where the battery wire is being funneled through (right side of trunk). any ideas here?

^ only thing that would explain a leak in that location.AWD > RWDComment

^ not necessarily. check to make sure your sunroof drip rail hose is connected behind the headliner. Water can drip down and find it's way into the trunk if it's not connected, partially connected or rusted out where it is connected.sigpicComment

^agreed, but am sticking to my guess. Gutters are easier to test, thats for sure.

Second the window sail, if it was the sunroof drain it would be in the wells.sigpic

thanks. just so i'm clear, the window sail is this long silver strip (orange arrow)? I was peeking around the area where the "green circle" is located, and see possibly some areas of concern (gaps that go inward). whats the best way to fix these? replacing these grommets? or would I just fill it with some sort of liquid filler?

replace the grommets!AWD > RWDComment

Mine leaked there, it was the from the rubber hose in the wheel well under that plastic cover. I think it's a breather for the gas tank or something I forget.Comment

the rubber hoses inside the trunk, behind the mousefur, are the drains for the sunroof.AWD > RWDComment

I think I could have the same problem. I get water in the rear floor area behind the driver seat after it rains. My "window sail" seems to be slightly pulled away from the body and is a bit loose. Is it difficult to take things apart in this area and replace the needed grommets/gaskets etc.?Comment
