Whats up i have a 90 ls400. the spare well gets filled up with water. nothing else is wet and it doesnt smell like mold(probably because it rains 2 times a year here in LA) but im gonna install my subs so i dont wanna risk getting them wet. whats the cause of this. its really strange. i checked the 2 tubes on the left of the turnk near the antenna theres 2 tubes there fine i think ones for the sunroof not sure about the other. theres literally no moisture. anywhere but the spare well gets filled.

please search, it's likely the trunk seal or the bumper nuts/bolts.

pretty common problem with the LS400. gotta either replace your factory trunk seal or remove,clean and reseal the one you have. water also likes to get into the trunk via the bolts holding the bumper on. silicone the crap out of all of it. thats what i will be doing. the reason my build is named the stank booty LS400 is BECAUSE of this issue. first time i opened the trunk it smelled like a couple of dead people had been chillin in there for quite a long time.

weird that mine has no smell at all. i guess ill do both of what you told me and hopefully it fixes the issue. my trunkk smells fine. like a trunk should smell which is no smell hahahaa. maybe because it barely rains but i wash the car everyweek. even thought theres nothing thats wet in the actual trunk i dont want to risk messing up my amp and subs. I figured its a common problem since there was so many threads on it. but non answered my question like you did thank you. hope this fixes the issue.

I just noticed mine has over an inch of water in t here now.

from what i can tell you look up UNDER the darn bumper dude lol. figure its attached to the car SOMEHOW so just eyeball it.you will figure out how to remove it eventually. cant really hold your hand on this sorry.

LOLOL. well that helped. i was gonna look from the top.

Just take out the spare tire. In the bottom of the well there are two rubber plugs about golf ball size. Pull the one closest to the gas tank (because it's downhill) and the water will mostly drain out.

Will do that but that won't stop it from filling again. I noticed the problem before but didn't pay attention to it since nothing else was wet. Now I want to install my sub's on sat so I want to takle it today and tommorow. If i cant I'll install the sub's and then tackle it. And if I can't fix it( I doubt that) I'll just remove the sub's when I wash it and drain the water and put them back in

Then seal the holes like everyone said.

move to Indio or Coachella Valley - pretty much never rains there.

You have to remove the carpeted liner from the trunk to access most of the bolts and then there are the bolts in the rear wheel well.
