Help on my Civic SiR!!!

[wac3]

gys w/ Civic EK body, have you experienced getting water in your trunk when raining? it's because whenever it rains and i use the car, my trunk compartment gets wet. i can't seem to trace the source of the water. my best theory here is the water from the power antenna or water coming from the drainage vent just below the power antenna. it gets wet in that area only. i had my mudguards removed and i suspect water splashing from the tires enters the drainage vent.

have you guys experienced this before?

[ssaloon]

yup, friends of mine have experienced that also. check your tail lights also kasi baka di na siya naka-seal ng mabuti.

meron water drain hose yung power antenna, check if it's connected properly sa exit way ng tubig. normally it won't leak any water yan pag di nagagalaw except kung nabangga ka na at pinalitan yan.

agree with ssaloon, check your tail lights.

[wrecker]

baka naman nagangga dati yung auto mo?

yup... double check mo yung taillights dati ganyan din yung civic ko eh.. dun dumadaloy yung water....

[glntVR]

baka nga yung tail lights or yung antenna mo yung dinadaanan. was your car bumped at the trunk part before?

Also check the rear bumper support/clip, the rubber gasket might be defective. That is No.17 in the drawing below:

Sa VTi ko noon sa Taillights din pumapasok yung tubig. Yung rubber flap seal kase ng Tail lights ng EK civic di sya talaga sealed di gaya sa ibang oto like my corolla before meron pa sealant na ginamit.


DIY leak test mo na lang sa bahay. Kung di ka kasya sa loob ng trunk ganito gawin mo.. kung marunong ka magpalit ng seatcover sigurado na alam mo pano tanggalin yung back seat.

From there pwede mo na masilip yung trunk mo from the inside. Hanap ka kasama mo i-hose nya ng tubig yung trunk or tail lights tapos silipin mo sa loob ng trunk using a flash light kung saan galing yung tubig

guys thanks very much for your replies. di pa naman nabangga yung auto ko dati sa likod although i had my rear bumper repainted already. i checked everywhere for traces of where water might be coming from pero tuyo lahat ng area eh. haven't checked the tailights thoroughly though. thanks again! will try to do your suggestions.

[Supierreman]

yung sa akin di rin nabangga yung rear pero sa tail lights pumasok. Yung rubber flap seal most likely yung culprit or yung rubber seal ng trunk. lumulutong yun sa katagalan kaya di na masyado sealed yung mga areas na yun.

[chieffy]

merong vent dyan behind the rear bumper sa driver's side(sa area ng number 2 malapit sa number 17)...may manipis na sheet of rubber na nakatakip dun...check mo na rin baka sira na...pwede mo rin siyang silipin sa loob ng trunk...

i have the same problem. check mo yung weatherstrip sa rear windscreen.
