Toady Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Alright so i got my custom box in from my fedex damage claim, I got my belt to quit squealing after 3 New pulleys, Tension-er, and Belt. Now for the last problem i recently found 3 inches of water in my spare tire well of my grand am, i took out all the carpet checked for holes and i did a test. I had a flashlight and i laid in the trunk while a friend sprayed the whole trunk and back windshield with a water hose. I found a couple of drips from where the seal and the trunk meet (trunk lid seal). So Its kinda got me confused?? Is it possible for that to be the problem, cause that was a bunch of water in my well, and the drips from the lid seal would land on the carpet, and i never did see my carpet wet. Could this be my problem and if so how can i fix it. I took the seal off and readjusted it so it sits like it should now instead of laying over like it was, any ideas or suggestions Also there was mold in the well so it had to be gathering for sometime, and after taking the box and amps out i noticed the sound material under the carpet was completely soaked Edited July 1, 2010 by Toady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomypg Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Yhe water in the carpet may condensate into the well underneath... there might be water leaking from other places... Do you have a sunroof? Somemtimes they have pipes that lead backwards for draining. Failing that, you can drill a drainage whole.

skittlesRgood Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 you know whenever the subs are playing its flexing that trunk lid... what do you think that seal is doing? opening up more leaks. so those little leaks are big gaps opening and closing as the subs play. now with air coming in from you driving it may be keeping the water on the trunk lid until it gets over the well and drips down. thats just a guess.

Toady Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) I checked for all other leaks and thats the only thing i see just tested the boots in the back wheel wells, and the sunroof water lines and nothing, the only thing that is leaking is the trunkseal. whenever i spray the trunk and open the lid i see water ontop of the seal and its a trail thats leaking down Edited July 1, 2010 by Toady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I had the same problem, and what had happened with me was that one of the studs on my taillight had broken loose so it wouldn't seal against the body. I don't know if it's a GM thing or just a Grand Prix thing but both pairs of taillights I've had have done it at least once, if not more. I would check that.
