Trunklid holds water?

[cliffsta]

Did a search and closest thing I saw was a taillight holding water... but IDK what this is. Whenever it rains or I wash my car, no matter how long I wait, days at a time, when I open my trunk water pours out of one of those holes in the trunklid. I assume the water is hanging out near the taillight, but its a LOT of water... driver's side if that matters.

What are my options? I'm tired of getting water on my stereo / whatever is in my trunk.

Did this solve the problem? No more water in your trunk when you open the lid?

Anybody else? Please help, it rains alot down here in Winter

So what is the solution? New weatherstripping? Drill holes in the taillights? Help

i have the exact same problem then i found out i have a very small crack in my tail light and thats how it gets in i sealed the crack and it stopped happening.maybe yours just needs to be resealed.

Outlaw I'd Pull the carpet out of your trunk and spray it with some rustoleum primer asap..

i put the holes in it, and i have never gotten water in my trunk again.

I have the same problem... but the water doesnt get into my trunk until i open the lid and then it purs out from behind the lights. i dont have any cracks in them either.
