Help! GS-R Sedan Trunk Leaking!
I just got a '94 GS-R Sedan and drove it in some
really torrential rain and through some deep
puddles at speeds high enough to throw up 6 foot
spray.
I checked the spare tire compartment and found
water pooled in the low spots.
I removed the inside trunk liner on the right
side. The water seems to be coming from the upper
right area right around/ below the right rear
passenger seatbelt tensioner/roll. I say this
because there is a very small puddle right about
below this item.
Does anyone have a good idea where this water is
coming from? Anyone have similar experiences?
How much did it cost to fix?
Please help and many thanks.

I can feel wetness around the shock/strut (?) mount end is visible in the floor of the trunk.
Also a little puddle of wetness just about right below the rear/right passenger seat belt tensioner/roll.
Thanks for any help given.
Using some of the tips found on this excellent website and some info from a body shop, I was able to pinpoint the leak to the right rear tail light gasket!
I used a liquid gasket made by Loctite that I had leftover from fixing my Accord's left tail light gasket (!). Only a couple bucks!
Hope this will be of help to someone else as well.
We have another topic on Water Leaks that would be a good place to talk more about this, but I hope you have no more need for it! :-)

Anyone know a sure way to get rid of this before it becomes scummy or mildewed?
Thanks in advance!
