Re: 90 Accord Water in Trunk and Taillight
I have seen this problem is two 92 Accords. After looking at the
taillights, the trunk gasket and the power antenna, I finally discovered
that the water was getting in around the flow-through ventilation outlet.
This is a rectangular plastic piece located just to the rear of the driver's
side rear wheel well. After calking the perimeter with silicone sealant (
inside and out) the problem was solved. I don't know if the 90s are the
same but it's worth a look. It's been a few years, but if I remember
correctly, you have to remove the wheel well liner and the trunk liner to
get at it.
