    Hey guys, Its raining right now in San Diego.. And ive noticed how there is a mini lake on the side compartment where the Jack and stand are. Where could this water be coming from?

          It doesnt seem to be the tail light gasket.. when I retrace the water and how it comes down it seems to crowd around the corner of the trunk lid and does not vacate.. I have a feeling its the antenna grommet...

                when i put in a new grommet i place a seal of clear silicone around the hole. i would recommend doing such.
                M3 springs w/bilstein hd's, IE 22/19mm sway bars, front IE stress bar, complete suspension rebuild, IS interior.

                    i have a new antennae grommet and i replaced the tailight gaskets and i still have a leak. i think i'm going to use jlevie's idea of using chalk and see if i can get a general idea of where the leak is coming from. very frustrating
