I have a cabin leak. Have not debugged where it is coming from. It has progressed through the years. It should to be a nuisance thing and now it floods when it rains hard.

I have done the TSB of cutting the rubber diverter on the cowl drain, it did not help.

It could be a hidden crack allowing water to come in.

It coud be the windshield seal...

With all the rain in ATL, the TL is wet.

Leak

Mandy-

When I mentioned this issue to my younger brother he got on line and did some research and from what he related to me, this is not an unusual issue with this car.

From what he found, he thought the most likely source of the leak will be around the tail lights. So that is where I plan to start- I think I'll try removing them and seeing if I can get a silcone seal around the lights. One fellow suggested getting someone to assist in the trunk with a flashlight or with a hose; and hose down the car to see if the source can be determined!

I'm tempted to leave the hole in the compartment as is as this would will allow a readymade drain, but I would be a little concerned about carbon monoxide entering into the cabin.

My leak is into the cabin, driver's side, not the rear trunk.
