Default [3G] Civic 1984 Sedan - Water in the trunk

Hello to all

I own a 1984 3G Civic Sedan with the 1.3 engine.

I bought it a few months ago and now with the rain I have the trunk pretty wet.
I looked around and I didn't discover where it comes from.
Any ideas?

The water appears like this on the trunk's floor:




As you guys know rust arrives easily so I would like to know if someone had the same problem or if knows how to solve it.

Thanks.

Since you are getting wet inside the trunk when it rains anyway, wait for a dry day, dry off the water and then spray around the trunk seal and then turn off the water and quickly inspect the inside. My guess that any new water spots may be a clue to where the water leak is. The only problem with that theory is that sometimes water likes to travel down whichever path it can find until it drips down.

But my guess at this point is a rubber seal along your trunk is leaking.

It could be also coming from the tailgate. The seals may be loose.

wild guess but lift up and check your spare tire area,
