I don't think it is rear spoiler problem. I already remove it and don't find anything about leaking but since I already remove it so I'm going use someone write up about rise it up little bit when I get some water stuck on it. I will do that next weekend.

It was hard rain yesterday. When I open the trunk. I get lot of water come down like this picture. I don't think it is spoiler problem. I got 5 shiny bolts but one rusty. I checked them that no sign of wet spot. If spoiler is leaking that should be leaking inside trunk area. It is always on left side near key hole. I have no leaking on right side. Do you think I have leaking keyhole? I'm really confused where the water come from if it is not from spoiler? Anyone have same problem as I do? If so then please help me what cause this. I have it for year.



*update*
Never mind ask question about keyhole. They are not leaking. I test it with water bottle while ago. They hold it very good. In night time with flash light that allow me see key hole inside from where big water hole from. They are totally dry so key hole is not part fault. If it is key hole fault. You might notice black thing under key hole that have tiny hole that should leaking into rear bumper. I took hard look where rusty bolt is. I found little bit wet but they are seal very good for avoid leaking but tiny air or whatever water got into and slide into where big hole from trunk that create a bath of water. Pontaic body shop seal it pretty good for just one freaking year. Year ago, it just start leaking until it is getting worse and decide enough is enough. :rolleyes: My 2001 got better seal (still original) but 2003 don't (leaking twice)? Guess bad luck frown

I think it's leaking through the keyhole. I just got done washing my car and noticed the exact same thing happening and I know it's not my spoiler because I've done the washer mod and sealed it up.

Is the rubber ring around your keyhole still intact? Mines starting to come out from under the keyhole so I think that's where it's coming in.

Have everyone remove this key hole before? If so then how hard is that? I do have black thing around key hole seal fine I think. I guess I will take a hard look at key hole next weekend.
