What Causes Water Leakage in the Car Trunk?
1 Answers
Leakage from the trunk seal. Below are the relevant details: Drainage: There is a rubber plug for drainage at the bottom of the spare tire compartment in the trunk—removing it allows water to drain. For aging seal strips, visit an auto repair shop for replacement. Inspection: Locate the leak by checking if the trunk lid is deformed or if the surrounding seals have aged. Use a hose to spray water and observe where water enters, or close the trunk and check for light penetration, marking the spots. Sealing: Purchase a bottle of silicone sealant, open the trunk, remove the interior trim, and apply the sealant to the marked areas, preferably from the outside. The rear bumper should also be removed.
