Default 96 coupe leaking! Fixed everything i can think of! please help

the water is coming in the bottom left corner of the trunk. My stock tails were cracked, so i put new ones in and put silicone on the gaskets before i put those back on the car. Still leaked, so then my friend who also has an integra helped me to clean the sunroof drain which wasnt really dirty, and we cut the hole bigger at the bottom so it wont clog up ... but i still have a minor leak SOMEWHERE and its still coming in at this corner of the trunk

Im SURE its not my window. My trunk seal looks good

Is there maybe a hairline crack along the sunroof drain pipe i cant see?

My friend and i are planning on taking the whole thing apart again, but i was wondering if anyone has any other ideas.

some pics

i siliconed under the power antenna too in case it was that

I had my friend sit in the trunk while i poured water everywhere .. we couldnt find the leak, but its supposed to rain tommorow.

So ... ive now taken everything apart the right way, and am not going to put anything back in till i find the leak.

The white stuff is coca ... er i mean baby powder.

I think it might be coming from this fuckin thing




this is from right behind the front door looking back ... im guessing this car was crashed and those are the holes from where they pulled out the dent


my poor car

You need to replace the taillight gaskets, not silicone them. Have you gotten inside the car and had someone with a hose pouring water on your car to see where exactly it is leaking?

That thing your referring to is a vent that is part of the air circultation of your car. It lets air out, but does not let air in. There should be a flap on it and it exits the car under the bumper cover.

ok so heres what ive found so far for today

its coming in ABOVE the taillight WTF

up and behind in there


then it trickles down the side, onto the top of the airvent lookin thing


and the water comes to rest down here


like i said its NOT the taillight leaking.

My friend went to arizona and i have to feed his cats so i decided ill make use of his garage since its raining hella hard here .... so i took my taillight back off and my silicone job was pretty good, but anyways, the water is coming in ABOVE it like i said earlier, cause all the baby powder up there is soaked ... its not coming through the taillight at all!

Can anyone reccomend a good sealent that i can just spray everywhere and maybe that will cure the leak, cause i still cant figure out where it would be coming from.
