Want this question answered?
My trunk is leaking. If it's raining, water come in when I open the trunk to load groceries or whatever.
Our '98 Achieva had the same problem. It was due to the air conditioning hose being blocked. Therefore the water was backing up into the vehicle, under the carpets and into the back seats instead of flowing out.
In the trunk on the cover that is over the spare tire you will find a sticker with that information..
Check the rear window washer resivoir.
Unless there is an access panel inside the trunk, then the answer is yes. Sadly, yes. In my 1996 Achieva it cost me about $700 to drop the tank and replace the pump. I was ripped off, I know, but the tank needs to be removed to get to the pump.
The lid seal is compromised. It'll have to be replaced.
the bolts inside of trunk holding plastic bumper have rubber washers that go bad from over tightening and they will leak there. fixed my Seville with gasket sealer and new washers.
If it is leaking through the crack next to the soft/hard top just put some sealant there and it should be fine.
It can be the trunk lid seal, power antenna drain tube leaking, or in rare cases, the rear window leaking. Crawl in the trunk with a flashlight and have someone spray the rear with a garden hose. You will then be able to find the leak.
Does your jetta have a rear spoiler? I was told that mine was leaking like that and that the spoiler was leaking. I haven't fixed it yet though.
your back window or the trunk rubber is leaking. see if you can talk a small friend into going in the trunk with a flashlight and take a garden hose and literally soak the rear of the car.i had the same problem and mine was the rear window was leaking on both sides from the top
the gas tank is located at the rear of the car on the bottom. Its apx. under the back seats or trunk. you can see it if you look up under the car from the outside.
