Leaking Hatch

[AI-Hatch]

I was just wondering if other 3dr's had this problem.....After it rains for a while and i look in my rear trunk area i'll find some puddles of water sittin on the floor on it. I looked over all my seals around the window and they looked to be fine. So i was just wondering if anyone else had this problem with their hatches.

So, how can it be fixed?

single sided sticky weather stripping.. like the type that they use for truck caps and such...

And just add it to the OEM stripping or replace it? Sorry to bother you...Thanks in advance...

not on the hatch... on the taillights... you have to take them out. where the tails meet the metal on the car is where it leaks... mainly the outer ones

Curious to know, did this fix your problem. I have the same problem on my 98 hatch

havent seen mine leak yet, even for $800 + my 91 dx its in ok shape (until u find broken bumpers, radiator support, engine mount, and airbags)

new taillight gasket is going to fix this, it's a common issue with 92-00 civic's and 90-93 accords.
