bigfredi36 Posted May 1, 2005 Report Posted May 1, 2005 i was about to install my subs, but found some pretty interesting info about my trunk. it smelled a lil moldy, and with closer inspection i realized my carpet was wet in some places, and underneath the carpet, under the spare there was some water. not good, and i cannot figure out were the waters coming from. what are some steps i can take to figure out where the waters coming from? has any one else had these problems?

Rabbi Posted May 1, 2005 Report Posted May 1, 2005 get in the trunk with a flashlight while a friend sprays the trunk with a hose. Then caulk that beotch up. Quote
slick Posted May 1, 2005 Report Posted May 1, 2005 get in the trunk with a flashlight while a friend sprays the trunk with a hose. Then caulk that beotch up. That is really the best way to do it really. I'd also suggest checking your weatherstripping to make sure that it is still in decent condition as well. Quote
1990lumina Posted May 1, 2005 Report Posted May 1, 2005 My trunk leaked some water from around the well area where the water stripping is - a joint cracked and water leaked in...some sealant fix it up. Also, in winter my trunk had tons of froze and ice on the inside of the trunk lid...spring it melted lol and got everyhwere... If you can't find the leak, at least drill some holes in the bottom of the speare tire well so there is some place for this water to go... - Jeff L. Quote
rshissler Posted May 1, 2005 Report Posted May 1, 2005 my weather striping around the back window had a small crack in it and it would leak into the trunk for some reason. i just put some gasket sealer in there and it fixed the leak Quote
5speedz34 Posted May 1, 2005 Report Posted May 1, 2005 Every W-body I've known of has had some kind of leak in the trunk area, it blows. Quote
jeremy Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 Every W-body I've known of has had some kind of leak in the trunk area, it blows. I didn't think my cutty did until I went to clean it when I was selling it....the spare tire well had a puddle of water in it....I was like WTF????? Quote
GP1138 Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 Am I the only one whose trunk has never leaked?? Quote
jeremy Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 Am I the only one whose trunk has never leaked?? check the spare tire well after a big rain storm.. Quote
MonteC Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 If you can't find the leak, at least drill some holes in the bottom of the speare tire well so there is some place for this water to go... - Jeff L. are u sure that you should drill a hole where water commonly travels? if you drill a hole then you have exposed metal, wont it rust a lot faster? i dont know, id just get a cup and dip the majority of the water out and use cloth towles or paper towels to dry it out.

DiscoStudd Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 Am I the only one whose trunk has never leaked??I'm 1 for 2. The Regal doesn't leak (yet anyway) but my old GP leaked like a mofo. I had planned on buying a can of seam sealer and going to town on the inside of the trunk... Quote
JoroCorona Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 Mine doesn't get any puddles, but mine also has the hole drilled in the spare tire well. Mine looks factory though. The paint doesn't look retouched and it goes inside the hole. :? Quote
