Hi,
I have a strange problem with water leaking. Only after a heavy rain my trunk will host a nice little puddle of water in the back part behind the bumper, for a moment I thought meh easy fix! assuming it was the tail light seals. I cleaned my sunroof drains a couple months ago and verified that they are draining to the bottom of the car so that's not the issue.
Earlier today after a light rain I figured maybe I can find the source this time since it wasn't a downpour which causes everything in the trunk to get wet making it difficult to trace the source, well I was right when I went to look inside my trunk I saw exactly where it was dripping from before everything else got wet. Low & behold it seems to be coming from the sheet metal, not the trunk seal or the tail lights, literally coming from the cavities in the metal behind the trunk lid hinges.
Has anyone come across this? how is it leaking into the bodywork? how do I fix it?
I have a pic of the location but not sure how to post it since photobucket no longer works for 3rd party links!
