:confused: gosh can not get it figured out, Still getting water in my trunk. well I went anal today on an sirius install and pulled my back seat, and the side wall around the back passenger window and under my passenger back seat was wet also. I pulled down the headliner and looked at the sunroof drain and the hose was connected to the pan, and ran down into twords the back wheel well. Now I can wiggle the hose, but is there any way to check the rest of the route of the hose as it dissapears in the body beside the back window.:confused: anyone have this happen before? or know the fix?

Under the car, in front of wheel wheel opening in the rocker panel are the drain holes. Check to see if plugged up.

If you take out the rear seat side panel you can see the rest of the hose. I had a parts car I stripped out and it was full of water once I got the panels off. May have to remove the sound deadening material to get a good look.

The water will fill up the space between door and rear wheel well and slosh out, but I don't think it will get into trunk.

Trunk seal is good? Put someone in trunk and run water from garden hose over rear of car. May be able to find it that way.

my conti had the same issue, first trick is pull everything out including the carpet, spray baby powder all over everything in the trunk, insert carpet. Then drive it. You will see witness marks from water where it is getting in at. Mine was a cracked rtv looking seal on my tail lights. 2 minutes and some rtv and now dry as a bone.

I hate giving away my secret tricks.
