Water standing in trunk - Honda Prelude Forum

Okay, so I've had my '93 SI for about 3 weeks now. Last night we had a pretty good thunderstorm. I noticed last week after a rain that the bottom right trunk panel was damp. I have the right side panels removed right now for a power antenna replacement project, and when I opened the trunk there was about a half inch of water standing in that corner. I know the guy I bought it from had to have the back glass replaced when a tree limb fell on it and busted it out. I notices they used the old weatherstripping when they put the glass back in. I am thinking this might be where it is leaking. Anyone have other thoughts? How can I find out for sure? Thanks for any suggestions.

FOUND IT! The strip below the back window had no sealant under it, allowing water to enter the trunk through the clip holes. Whoever the guy I bought it from got to replace the window did a little shoddy work. Anyway, it is fixed now.
