There is water on the right side in the trunk of my 2001 Sentra. To date, I have done the following: (1) Sprayed with a garden hose. Saw a little water enter around the taillight. Took taillight out and "re-gooped" it. Anyway, that's not it; in a rain when the trunk gets wet, the taillight area is not wet. (2) Thought it must be the the backlight (back window). Took it to Auto Glass Specialists, who replaced it a year and a half ago after a vandal attack. They took a lot of time with it, and concluded (taking good time to let me see it) that the water wasn't getting in the window.
The water appears to be entering where the right rear wheel well joins the outer fender, about 1 inch or so above where the trunk floor joins these pieces. It's very hard to even get a hand in there, much less see it, much less get in there to repair something. Can't see it from the outside very well either. It's beneath the point where the plastic bumper fascia joins the fender. I may try jacking it up, taking the wheel off, and sticking my head in there to see it from the other side. Before I goop up the area with 'undercoat' (and then in all likelihood find I have not solved it)... any recommendations?
Anyone else have this problem? What did you do to fix it? This car is only
2 years old so I don't see or expect it to be rusted out.Thanks in advance ---Pete
