I was getting a screw driver out of my spare tire well and I notice it was wet so I open up the mat more and I see a puddle in my spare tire well! There was at least 1-2 gallons sitting in there. Anyone have this happen before? We had heavy rain the other day, not sure if that was the cause. My carpet was dry so I doubt it leaked from a bottle or through the cracks. Luckily I caught it early and drained it instead of letting it sit for a while.

Has this happened to anyone before?

Heres a picture



It all collected in the front of the trunk (left. wires aren't live)

How did you drain it? That's weird, maybe it's leaking down your weather strip of ur trunk. idk

There are holes in the trunk covered by rubber pieces that I took out to drain the water. Yeah I may have to look into taking my car to the dealership (last resort).

Take it to the dealer, you don't want to fool with this. Many, many years ago I had a Dodge with a defective trunk seal (couldn't seem to fix it) and it constantly got water in the trunk which drained into the spare tire well. In winter it would freeze, and eventually rusted out the bottom of the well. It was a mess. Water is coming in somewhere, perhaps from a missing seal on the bottom of the pan. Let them look at it and figure it out.

if you have warranty, get it checked out.

my old Acura RSX had that problem. Honda dealer couldn't fix it. They didnt know where it was coming from. While I was trying to find the problem by myself, my younger brother rolled it over at 70+mph so I had to trash it. he is ok.

I also have 07 honda accord coupe and it has the same problem too.
I went to dealership and they replaced the "tail lights". they said that the rubber seal on the tail light were bad and the water got into it.

since then my accord is doing ok.

Had the same problem with a few cars but not on the IS yet. Things to look at:

1) Trunk Seals
2) Rear light seals
3) Moonroof drain on both sides.

You did replace the taillights fool. I've seen this before on Tuan's old Civic and my car too. A little bit of water got in but not a puddle.

Look over the seals on your new taillights, I tell ya them cheap *** eBay ****. If the seals looked messed up, take the OEM ones and swap them over and your problem should be solved.

Check for water tracks in the trunk well, could be coming in underneath through the seal from road spray. You describe an awful lot of water for the carpeting to still be dry.

Any tracks down the side of the well?

^^^^^1, great advice, standing water can cause a lot of problems, get it repaired ASAP

This acrylic nail maintainer speaks the truth. Take the taillights out and replace the gasket with your OEM taillight gaskets.

search as someone else had this problem a while back and it was the drain tube in the trunk not being connected. I believe its on the drivers side and you should be able to see if you have all your linings removed.
