dry everything and put baby powder on the seals, then shut it gently. Spray it with water and wait for the leak. Let it dry. When you open the hatch, the baby powder will show where the leak came from.
Leak in my Crosstour?
I noticed that the last two times it rained in Houston, I had water spots in my trunk. The first time, I thought it was the hatchback dripping from the outside as I opened it.
After the second time this afternoon, I ran a hose over the back and sure enough, drops started dripping in my driver side trunk just by the speaker.
Now, here is the interesting part- the black rubber seal is intact around the rear but where the rear light's black plastic panel meet the metal panel- there is a wide opening on both sides. I assume it isn't completely sealed in order to open the plastic to change out the rear lights.
This seems like the only place water could have gotten in.
So, I am calling my dealer tomorrow to have them check it out (my Crosstour is only 3 weeks old). I'd like to see if anyone else has noticed any leaks or if their Crosstour has these openings.

Yeah, not good, Scoob.....Hope that can be resolved easily for you.
I'll have to watch mine next time it's wet. Thanks for letting us know.
Good tip Ryan.

So quick update- they think it is the seal and have ordered a replacement for it. Should be done by Friday.
I can't wait to get my CT back, since the Civic they gave just doesnt feel the same.
Maybe my leak is just an isolated incident.
Maybe what I see isnt a speaker then...
At the back of the trunk, near the hatch are two metal vents that looks like speakers- maybe they are air intake vents?
If so, what a noob I am
Ahh, I found what you're talking about, Scoob......look like speaker grills about 6x6 under the back seat release handles by the hatch and facing down.Maybe my leak is just an isolated incident.

Not sure what those are (yet) will investigate later, could be vents of some kind,
but the sub-woofer is on the right side (passenger) not too much further in than the grill you mentioned and measure about 8x10 and is side facing.
No worries man.......until we explore every inch of these cars we're all noobs ......

Water leak in trunk
I just noticed the same leak in the back of my 2010, but mine is on the passenger side. Did the replacement seal fix the problem?
