Honda Car Forum

I have a 93 Del Sol SI and have been chasing a trunk leak for a while. It
appears that it is leaking via the right "wing"
(part that goes back and down behind rear window) and into the trunk. I have
checked the drain tube and trunk seal they are ok. Any suggestions as to
what is leaking?. I have tried to remove the plastic wing and haven't ben
able to budge it off with out using excessive force, do I have to remove
the headliner and look for a screw up there?.
It's a great car and I want to keep it.

Did you check the seals on the tail lights?

I know it's not the tail lights because I had my wife close me in the trunk
with a flash light and all of the interior carpet removed while she sprayed
it and it didn't leak there. The nearest I could find is on the passanger
side above the wheel arch and under the wing area. it ends up comming down
from the piece of metal that bridges wheel arch to upper body I also checked
the clear hose that drains that area and the water was flowing good down
through the bottom of the car and out side.

Check the rubber seal around the antenna...you have described the EXACT
location of it!

Ozzie,

Try a Google Groups search. I think you'll find it's usually the gasket
around the tail lights, as E. Meyer said.....
