Default where is this moisture coming from???

Everytime it rains i end up with water in my hatch. I have to take a shop vac and get it out. None of the carpet is wet nor is the carpet in the hatch area wet. But there is water under the spare tire and the sound deadening pad. Someone please help me where this is coming from. Also, I'm looking at my sunroof and even though it opens and closes, when in the closed position the back part of the sunroof has about a half inch gap from being closed completely. Someone please help.

Take it to Walts Water Works off of Witchduck Road. They are the best at finding and fixing water leaks.

check the rear glass seal around the lower corners.

also, the seal around the taillights have a tendancy to leak, its only a little foam gasket. sometimes they rip = leak.

I never got water in the back of my '91 hatch but the sunroof on mine looked fine, but every once in a while when it was raining all night I would get in it the next morning, take off, and as soon as I hit the brakes, SOAKNFRIGGINWET!!! Not cool...

check your sunroof drain. most run behind the panels in the hatch in the trunk..our integra's had come loose and caused water to accumulate in the spare tire area

its your real seals ethier around the trunk lid or one of the tail lamps, check them all, its a common problem in hatchs, and also a good sign that your hatch was in an accident before
