Water in my trunk

[richiejeffery]

I have 2005 3 hatchback (70K) and have water getting into the trunk under the spare tire. I looked around as best I could but couldn't find anywhere that it appeared to be comming from.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

Check the Fuel neck area....I do beleive there was a previous problem in that area.

Thanks, I'll have a look (hopefully tonight) to see if I can find any evidence or holes around there.

i had the same problem. if you take off the plastic liner that houses the trunk latch, there is a metal seam a little above the bumper liner. that seam was leaking for me, sealing it up fixed the problem.

the best way to find out is crawl in your trunk with a flashlight and have a buddy take a hose to your car until you can find water droplets seeping through
