Trunk leaking 2003 Elantra
Hi everyone,
I just got a 2003 Elantra GLS. After a recent heavy rain, I discovered that the trunk was soaking wet. Everything looks ok as far as the stripping goes, but I wouldn't really know what to look for anyway. It only has 30,000 miles on it, one owner before me. Can anyone guess at the possible causes for such significant water in the trunk? Thanks |

Could be leaking around the rear window, a body seam, or the tail lamps.

Thanks. If that is the case, is it fixable? I think the car might
have been hit in the back, not severely though. My friend told me it looked as though the bumper had been replaced. The carfax report was clean. I love the car but a leaking trunk is a bad thing.

Re: Trunk leaking 2003 Elantra
Sure, it can be fixed. It's simply a matter of locating the source (which
can require some disassembly) and taking the appropriate action to seal. Of course, in severe cases such as the trunk lid not aligning to the weatherstrip due to excessive bending, body work may be necessary. Typically, however, it's just a matter of sealing the leak source.

Well, turns out it is the seal around the tail lights. I'm relieved.
