Default trunk leak

93 Honda accord has water leaking into the trunk. Rumor is that some roof drains are plugged?? Does anyone know how to clear these, or what else might be the problem?

Could be a couple of things. This is general since I don't have a '93...

Sunroof has a drain in each corner. There's a tube going down somewhere in each rear fender, & sometimes they pull off their drain fittings & drip into the trunk instead.

Taillight gaskets often leak. Take off your taillight housings & look for torn or crumbly gaskets where they mount against the sheetmetal.

A friend had a rust hole in that channel around the trunklid weatherstripping. It's supposed to be like a raingutter for water to flow down towards the bumper, but there was a hole...

you can buy weatherproofing sealant to fix it if this is the problem

the most common one, is usually the taillights. Give that one a try. If not just throw some fish in there and enjoy.
