Water in spare tire area????

I've recently noticed water collecting in my spare tire area. I've sealed my tail lights with silicone, but still, water appears. Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem?

check your trunk seal and if you have a sunroof check the drain lines.

I had the same problem but it was leaking from the corner of the tail light area. Try to pour water on the outside of the car and find where the leak is coming from.

i had the same problems and it was also the tail lights leaking. But you said you siliconed them. Just go to honda and buy the gasket.

pop the drains... and if it is the sunroof drains keep an eye on your passenger side floor, because it will leak in there too.

Did you try this yet? Just fold down the back seat, get you a flashlight and get someone to start spraying the car, (or like me in Baton Rouge, just wait for the next heavy rain) you should be able to pinpoint the source. Let us know your findings.
