Over the past two years, I have been fighting a losing battle to the root cause of the wet trunk of our 2007 Honda Accord (manual). The wheel well, where the spare is kept, keeps filling up with water and the floor of the trunk gets wet and moulders. I spoke to a very concerned, but ultimately not helpful, guy in our local Honda service dept., who had not come across the issue (he did kindly suggest drying the trunk and lightly "coating' the floor of trunk and hosing the vehicle which might expose a 'trail' on powder to determine the origin of the leak.
Anyway, about a month ago, after drying the trunk out, I took the vehicle to a body shop which performed a lengthy & thorough water test to see how/where the water was getting in, but after dousing the roof/sides/windows/bumpers, etc. the trunk remained bone dry. Over the weeks, with the vehicle exposed to rainy weather, the spare wheel well is once again full of water and the trunk floor is sopping (the sides of the trunk, curiously, are not wet).
HELP!!
(Thanks)
Update from Jul 14, 2015: Bill M. was kind enough to suggest I replace both trunk light gaskets which corrected the problem! No more leaky trunk or damp carpet! Spare tire well has been bone dry!
