any suggestions kung san nang gagaling ang tubig pag nababasa ang compartment(trunk) mo. Weird, last monday ko lng na experience, malakas ang hangin at ulan and am running at a 100kmh sa star tollway, may water build up sa ibang parts ng kalye. hindi namn nang gagaling sa taas kasi tuyo naman yun sides na carpet, yun baba lng talaga sa tapat ng well. meron bang chances na pumasok yun tubig from underneath? i mean pag nag splash yun gulong sa medyo mataas na tubig sa kalye. pede rin bang pumasok yun kung san nakakabit yun shocks. badtrip kasi patis housing ng subs ko nababasa. thanks.

that is a frequent problem for that car.  water goes in near the bumber area... (don't know what it's called).

I think meron vents sa gilid ng body covered by the rear bumper, the vents let out air pag sinasara ang trunk.  Meron louvers yung vent na nakaharap downwards tapos medyo nagoopen pag sinara ang trunk.  Baka doon nanggagaling.

pare auto ko esi ganun nga problem ko d ko pa napapaayaos ang baho nga pagnababasa. sa kin lang kahit di tumatakbo  basta nabilad sa ulan mababasa yung trunk. d nga basa eh baha yung trunk ko. possible sa may antenna nanggagaling pero sa dami ng tubig na pumasok parang imposible antenna lang pumapasok. pde rin siguro sa ilaw pero suspetsa ko nga meron din sa ilalim. bad trip baka mangalawang auto ko. san ba ok magpaayos ng gantong sira.

you can trace the leak by removing the rear carpet and sidings then spray water from outside. then check the sources of leaks.

i'd a civic esi before with the same problem. sources of leaks were from the rubber insulations and power antenna.

brought it to karrglass and they sealed the gaps with silcone.
