I made a new one out of plywood.. you could have a leaking trunk.. taillights.. no water will get in if you unplug the hole.

 

It's probably your tail light. There is a foam gasket between the light and the body of the car. The foam gets dry and then then water runs down the back windshield, down the trunk grooves and right onto the tail light and then into your trunk.
It's part #5 here if you have a '90 or '91

theres also 16 and 15.. man 25$ for that stupid gasket.. what a rip.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

I am experiencing the same problem at the moment .........

 

Or you can seal the tail lights from the outside with a silicone sealer as indicated below. The joint between the upper and lower lenses seems to be the one that most commonly leaks. Take the inside cover off the tail lights and you will probably find some water at least on one side. This is a common problem for these cars. Use masking tape to keep things neat.

 

Cool, good advise .......

Damn I love this site .......

The information is endless ........

Thanks guys ........

same here, and it's probably your lights leaking, i think thats what used to leak in my car but the previous owner got it fixed

 

just thought i would add my .02 even though everything i said has alreayd been stated

 

When i had that gaping hole in my quarter panel.. lots of water would enter.. no wonder its so humid inside my car. Whats a good idea to take out all the humidity? I was thinking about a dehumidifier but i dont know anyone who has one anymore.

Are you talking about those JDM air cleaner things that sat above the back seat? If so, then good luck! And if you do find it would you mind going ahead and picking up every little JDM piece you can get for me? Thanks

Oh and if anyone else feels froggy, I extend that offer to everyone (you know, giving me JDM goodies!):lol:

 

I was missing the grommets in the trunk but my trunk was not getting wet, I just picked some up from the wrecking yard.
The moisture is coming from another location such as the tail lights.

 

As for the floor board I just bought a piece of MDF and cut it to fit the entire level part of the floor. Then I cut it in half and put a hinge on it so I could access my tire without removing my sub box. Then I just sprayed it down with 3M spray adhesive and covered it in black cloth.

what are u talking about? Do you know what a humidifier is? Does things you put water in when the air is dry and it humidifies a room or something.. a dehumidifier is the opposite.. it take water out of the air.
The thing in the JDM YO ludes is an air freshener.. not at all the same thing.

 

Did someone say something about a humidifier or did I miss something. If its humid just run your ac as that will take the moisture out, works great when your windows are fogged up.

 

Think a little.. not everyone has AC

 

ludapower, why not fix the source of the moisture? find out where the water is coming in and fix the leak. Then, all you have to do is leave your windows open for a day or two to let everything dry out.

humidity gone.

hey well looky here.. i already mentioned that
Its raining all the time here right now.. leaving my car outside the driveway with everything open for 2 days isnt such the best idea either.. Maybe if i jus stuck those little heaters inside it and had the doors and trunk open..

is the hole fixed? that's what i was referring to. the water should dry up in a few days on its own with the windows cracked.

Dude.. its been answered.. I specifically said water came in from THAT hole. I also said
"WHEN i had the hole in the quarter panel..."
When as in the past.. as in theres no more hole.. i jus jus replied with the link to how i fixed the rust on the quarter panel.. notice how its been finished n theres no more hole. Does that anwser your question?

you're a difficult somebody...

i understand that you had a hole and that it leak. i also understand that you fixed THAT hole.

what i'm asking is, now that you have fixed that hole, is there any MORE water coming in? the car should have dried out in a week if there was no more water being introduced. If it's been a week or two and your car is still just as humid as it was before, then you have another leak to fix. THAT's what i'm trying to say.

now, are you sure there's no more water coming into the car?

 

NOOOOOO
im a difficult somebody? hahaha very funny

 

noooooo, what? no you're not sure? no there's no more water leaking in from somewhere?

what's the weather like in your area? that water should have drive in a few days. is the carpet soaked? seat cushions?
