I have an 04 SX and i looked in the trunk where the spare tire goes there was some water. Did any one else have this problem and if so how would the water get in or could it be just some sweat under the spare tire that bulided up over time?

 

Honestly there has been alot of talk for some crazy reason on water leaking/getting into the trunk. I honestly don't think the answer is bad seals or bad install of tail lights etc...

What I think the answer is which is pretty simple and happened to my car the weekend before I even bought it lol. The trunk is kinda touchy to get closed securely. What can happen is you close it and it only latches part way, and it looks closed but actually isn't. Then it rains or the air moisture gets in, and over time it builds up in the spare tire compartment. Just my theory on the subject.

 

The life exp. of the tail light seals are about (2) years! its an 04 so, you need to change the seals...

 

Tail light seals do go bad on these cars for some reason. If you look at thesides of the rear bumper after driving in the rain you will see that where the body and bumper come togather it forms a perfect channel. The water fills into the channel andforces aganist those cheap seals. Pull everything off your trunk floor pan dry them outclean the water out of the trunk and I would suggest checking underneath the rear seat also. When you pull the old seals out you will be able to see if they were leaking. If they were leaking they will have dirty water marks between them and the body or tailight.Good luck.

 

Water is coming in through the tail lights. You need a better seal. Open the trunk and take out the fake carpet it has around the tail lights. Pour water with a hose on the little canals on the outside and watch the water just leak in slowly but surely into your car. Just buy some windshield seal or something and go around the tail light with it.

 

roflmao... holy crap.. Dodge Neons have tail light seals? LOL

This will officially be my first and last American vehicle. I'm going back to JP cars and never going outside the realm of JP cars.
