the past 2 days it has been raining really really hard.
everything is fine except that when i openend my trunk on sunday ( yesterday) my whole trunk was dripping wet on the inside. i dont know how or what caused it 2 flood up but i literally had a mini lake inside my trunk and also in where my spare wheel is.
the rubbber lininig of my trunk looks fine but i dont know what going on.
anyone suggest n-e-ideas to prevent this from happening again.?
Same thing happend to me this weekend. it wasn't too bad but there was water on the trunk carpet and where the spare is.

Clean the trunk out, then make sure everything is dry. Then, line the floor of the trunk with paper towels, and shut it. Go thru a high pressure touchless carwash , and when you come out, you should be able to locate where the leak is coming from
i have experienced the same problem too. the past few days of rain in sf has left a portion carpeting on the trunk wet but so far it never came to the point that my trunk got flooded. do you guys think it may be a problem on b14's? i'm planning to put some subs on my trunk, but if it leaks then i may have to put the subs on hold until it's fixed. once we find out the source of those leaks, you guys have any possible solutions for this?
like someone mentioned the b13 also have this problem and it is usually because of the tailights
add silicone on the outer top part so water doesnt get in between the tailight and the back panel

it's probably the taillights. I had this problem on my b14 less than a month ago(good thing I didn't have the carpet in the trunk). To fix it I used a hose to see where the leak came from, and it was a taillight seal. So I took off the light, took all the butyl rubber off(black sealant used by nissan), and resealed it with clear silicone. No more leak

Yeah, you'll notice that it comes with some really sticky sealant(butyl rubber), you have to take all of it off and get the area nice and clean to be able to seal it back up with silicone. I tried using thinner to take it off, but it was taking too long. Friend recommended lighter fluid, and it was much quicker(don't use near open flame of course).
