On the bottom of rear window, aBove trunk (some1 check this 4 me ?)
My trunk is leaking after i got my car back from the body shop.
Theres that piece along the bottom of the rear windshield that has the rubber piece everybody complains about ... well..
the trunk is leakin, when I open my trunk and lift up the longer plastic piece held on there, theres 3 or 4 holes that are uncovered ... are these covered on you guys cars??
Can somebody check this for me? (if you need a pic ask and i'll go grab one... )
That shouldn't matter. It should allow water in and into the track that has the trunk seal on it. That lets the water flow down the bumper. You shouldn't have any holes in the metal part between the window trim and the trunk liner.
the metal piece runnin along the bottom of the window.. should that be sealed at the bottom? I have a feeling thats where the weater is seeping into the holes from ...
those look like the stock mounting spots for that trim piece. Looks to me like you are missing a couple of the clips that go in those holes. Just put some duct tape over it and call it good.
If you don't have them in there it will eventually deform. I bet there is enough air back there to pull it up. But there should be some clips at the ends that are the same thing. Check those out and you will know what you need. I bet you have to buy a whole new strip to get the new clips too.
My trunk leaks from the same place yohan. On the top part of the weather trim the plastic has deteriorated so there is a little spaces for water to run down from the windshield and through the weather trim and through those holes.
I ordered the trim from HAparts.com and I am still waiting for it after 2 weeks - must be backordered. It's an $80 part however.
I also have a leak in the front windshield - that trim cost $160 or so. m$160 for fvcking rubber!
Those should all be plugged with the molding brackets!! If your trim is fine but you just need the brackets you can get them separately from Honda. I broke a couple re-installing the molding and they're like $3 each or so from Honda. They come with little rubber sealers around them too which stops water from getting down there.
Is it possible for any of you to take a pice? The trim piece is held in by screws and such and I have all of those ...
but you can clearly see the hole by my thumb that I can see straight down through into my trunk ... the screws are further up under the trim ...
realistically I could throw down a bead of silicon between the window and the trim against the window and the water should run down the flap that i'm holding up ... but I can't see that those holes should be exposed...
No, the rear trim piece is held in by 7 clips/brackets which go into those square holes in your picture, meaning, I don't know how yours is being held in right now. The screws are put into those clips to hold it into place and they expand and force the molding to press against the window when done properly. The clips also have a rubber/gasket type thing to stop any water from going in. Go and get the clips already!!!
I just looked in the helms manual .. somebody needs to get me a picture of this because it looks like, as yield said, theres supposed to be some sort of a clip with a piece raising up out of there that should be filling all of those holes ... now im pissed because its not like 4-5 plugs I need, its a whole piece that will be $$$ ... dammit!!
Why do you need a picture, I just told you what was wrong If you have a decent molding you're in good shape! You don't need to spend mucho dollars. Just call your local dealer and order 7 (or however many you are missing) clips at about $3 a piece. They slide or snap right into place in the molding and come with the screws and everything. Simple!
I took mine off like 2-3 weeks ago, I know exactly how this works.
