Ok I am getting water in my trunk and on the bottom of the cushion on the rear passenger seat. I have had the back window pulled out and reseated. Also my spoiler is kind of loose. Could the spoiler being loose cause the water to get into the trunk and into the backseat? Any help would be appreciated!!!!!

Check the weatherstrip around the back corners of the trunk lid (right in front of the tail lights).

Chances are it has split into two strips.

Water enters at the front/top of the lid, then 'gutters' rearward. Instead of exiting, it is blown by windpressure into the trunk.

Temporary: Duct tape.
Permanent: New weatherstrip from stealership; prolly $$, but I don't know.

Ok I checked these things out and still no luck. The water is closer to the back seat than to the tail lights. I think the window may have to be removed again. Any other suggestions?

You have small oval vents in the rear under the car.. Chances are one of them is loose. It is designed to suck the water out! If it get loose it takes in water!!

What about the side windows? I would suspect them as well since the water is getting to the back seat. My rear window on the coupe leaked following bodywork, but water was confined to the trunk. (it ran to passenger side, came out near inside of fuel resess)

BTW, trunk weather stripping is about $36 new.

Anyone have a diagram of where these small vents may be? Thanks

I am having the back window pulled out tomorrow. It isn't seated properly. You can here my window rattling if you hit it or play music. The company that did it before sucks. When the first company that pulled my window, they ripped paint off my car. SO I am pretty sure that they just did a crappy job to begin with.
