1997 OBS - Where TF is this water coming from?


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I have deleted the roof rack trim on this car and filled the holes with roofing sealant.  I'm still getting quite a bit of water in the hatch.  When i pick up the trunk carpet it smells musty and gets wet in the upper left corner.  I see water on top of the vinyl mat. It rained hard last night.  Here are some pictures.  I keep blowing fuses for the horn, the dome light, the cigarette lighter & the shift lock. I have a rear left tail light on order because it seems to have a lot of condensation in it.  Any other ideas??PJlUFnVfmbVWt6ZWhFgrw-DNTKfRBGPZBlkuehEUs-H7TXTXQ7t3rvg_wLdKWj3WtKccMEFoJK9KNYK52s4HVnKH4qO8e2eyXz0LKD8hEkT3UN60edcx-DhdrNor8sd5s33a5Xa96roQwo9DZKN006fmHgvgN64M4KHs1FBA6ybwyFodmP1xHUYm-1z0MKQFE8cKZu-8bu8M1BULiPDFCD28815Pyh6ndwp11rwxHakI5mHAR25yfsygDdQh7mTk4pwN2YogZ7LyL7dlpljcht4VgSM0ftyltaHHINOClXygPOJhmiAa8JWnyYpqqEiArs3Hptvked5QY3tNk_3k18tkIC08wW2iCFe2e-xrLL5Px9qTQniAw8vPNHAJmk-vCfM5SWSYYzpJPPt66FTDlxTEP-6P3pFUWyw8JVDVZqulLuRIZKAGv5hj696vBIbmRvmEls9vprX6mRH-rRy88qj4urZWHjtc1gsWVlu5L2918zZBBCGdsgN5sVkQkFMSC7CHG4Do8u-bdkTGcqdHyCCxIFjr63ywLNNAMeZT-3Mspht8grDbHMWBpE_iGfT-14bWtx0gAGGlwAdve4WC4UXnRvIRLkOXiSK92BkQEFhUizU61pLparzpbLJI1HOckBAtbNA_UpbrUvMAIppZjz_aHarBQaUpBRwOEizkY7Ya7aowiuzRAiCD7B77UOk=w687-h915-no?authuser=0cMZS8QVTDw7A6vGlYV1q7nC0sgT2TGvkbnsxLXAn4FWL0Sy3EiYN-dS-WTz0tUtC4izwbrN6BiBltU8Za_TTwS3YAYWhDam0TfoDP_p6Jmm1c0GpHUI5LWjmcBN13A_onKF-pBuCSvGRlP7sk64YW5Tc3S-4l5TdeCM2rJMcvuaOdLmbVRhJTD6PTgcRQgZKI4RjQpELIDmme_VNda4NMTaCsszJGKk4fYBR3FRZDsB5OvFf8E0DAINnzRSIG7TJubhnymX5hXq1DXudv9WUsqKusfIB2uahDbSgWGB1Axo533FLHSXtpOX2XXKJ5tCdrwfVbcJ1Oz_AJmb7ZNzem0escsrEfPpIszF_9Rgr7a1ddZQDYK8pG1J6s_z74xaLsNLM_AyZzRhlyCvtJ87pKr4be4bB3vNJu1nZ4yFBv2aPzDC4YOtTVjg7-0ttjGFXf3YpAzPdFQPLbJLgXHpyWS3CsgTZ9FmvawbTEwkYtQu7syHPxrrWOoobD9ieA5bIFI8GjUBg0eDkn8D7GI3W0UtRRszJI4DdoD8S7WUtEHVVWDTJNErq5fmePCbDy7bQg-7C0OFXMFG8QHjvn6Mmzt9PCt10JNIW4UxlAXRx003K0DDOpP9joW3mIuj5BacaQOi85RK8Stooc92MD0gmIJp12pVCcgTTyDjuQBFCEWxkqAsfP9BDazs9y7MrPZY=w687-h915-no?authuser=0

probably it is coming in through the taillights.  Get some of that 3m flexible sealant rope and use it around the tailight where it meets the car body.  

You are probably right. The driver side tail light was full of water.  I guess i'll use that roof sealant in a caulking tube around the tail light and reseat it.

Edit: ended up getting some of this Wattstar Butyl Rope
