Jsut starting the rainy season, I noticed water in my trunk.

After a little investigation it appears to becoming from the tail lights.

What is the fix for this?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem, this is the step by step guide NABA2002 sent me and it worked perfectly.

"ii first signed up. now wat u just mentioned happened to about 75% of the tls i know. the reason for this is there are seals between the lights and the metal body of our cars, in most cases that seal is old and no longer functions as it should. wat i did was i went down to my dealer and bought the taillight gasket , part number...33503-sw5-a01. when i did mine i got 2 of those because eventualy u will have to replace the other one too so mite as well do it now. they cost like...20 buks for both? so wont put a dent in ur pocket either. when u get that just remove the tail lights and swap out the gaskets. i was getting ALOT of water in my trunk i mean the whole wheel hole was full of water. wat i did with that was i opened one of the rubber holes and kept it that way and then i took off the rubber lining around where the trunk closes and cleaned all the gunk n dirt out of there and put that back on.... after bout 4 months? no water as of yet so try that and if u need to no how to remove the tail lights i can give u that info and some pics if u want so just pm me ltr if u need anythin. ltr"


MY ADDITION: REMOVE THE TAILIGHT AND USE A HAIR DRYER TO BLOW DRY AND REMOVE ALL MOISTURE BEFORE REINSTALLING THE LIGHTS"

What I did was removed the rubber gaskets and cleaned them out, used silicon corking and it's been a year now and no problem so far. If the problem come back, I will buy the gaskets.
