Default car wash problem

any of you people had any problems running your car through a car wash and water getting into the trunk?? it looked like it had been sprayed all over the lid and where the speakers sit... just wondering if i didn't have the trunk shut or what... opinions??

water comes from the tail light seal, i think its both. you can use mr. gasket to fix that problem.

if it only happens when going threw the car wash and not when it rains it proabley a bad seal around your trunk that the high pressure is slowly been destroying. if it's coming threw your tail light then get a un molded rubber seal and put it being it to help stop leaking water threw the tail lights.

Neons are notorious for bad trunk and taillamp seals. I thought mine had the same problem but turns out the car wash fluid I had in my trunk tipped over and flooded my spare well, which in turn soaked the back seats and floorboards.
