water in the trunk!!
Hello,
I'm trying to find the leaks/-s in my trunk now for weeks (92 LS), and cant find them. I changed the antenna screw and rubber seal, the trunk gasket, sealed the gasinlet but still get water in the trunk after rain and driving? Where should I look?
I'm driving now for weeks without the trunk covers to see where it is leaking! That is not Lexus like.

Sounds like sunroof drain hoses. Aside from the two sunroof drain hoses (one on each side) there is another hose (at least on my 98) on the passenger side that has a dedicated hole in the trunk to drain water... it’s between the sunroof hoses and the cabin, middle of the passenger side of the trunk.
Also, after checking the sunroof hoses to see they are draining where they should be, check to see if they are clogged. To give us a better understanding, where does the water accumulating?

Hello,
thanks for the replies. There is no sealing at the backlights. I ordered the 2 Clips for each outside backlight, because I saw water coming from it on the frivers side.
the water stands in the 3 mouldings (left and right side where the sunroof drain hoses end, spare tire moulding.
The sunroof draining hoses work perfectly. They are not clogged or anything.
One thing I noticed while sitting in the back during highway driving in heavy rain: I heard water running like a river! The roof carpet is totally dry.
