is it hard to remove your trunk liner? because i did notice it was the sides of the trunk that was wet im pretty sure its not the trunk lid seal because i added an extra foam seal there because i thought that was the problem but to my surprise the trunk was still gettin wet

Yeah my seals are pretty perfect. I know this sounds a little messy.... but if I'm going to pull up the carpet, I might as well go a step further and sprinkle down Kool-Aid or something similar to it instead of newspaper. If any water gets to it, it will be very obvious, because it will turn real dark. Yes or no? Too messy? You could always dive in to your trunk and start lickin for cleanup...[:'(]. *L*

Oh, and totally random, but what the heck does FTW mean? I'm seeing it all over the place and I feel like a total newb. thx.

you should send the dealer and anonymous teabag through the mail. at the very least, it would make them think a little.
HAHA! We need to get a "teabag" smiley face icon added. I guess that may cause a little bit of post whoring though. I like the smiley's on the 6thgen accord site. They even have a "bukkake" one!

So I found the cause of the excessive rust in the trunk. Come to find out it was in fact those larger rubber grommets in the bottom of the trunk. When you spray water at it, it doesn't seem like its leaking, but when there is sustained water spray, like a longer car ride, I think that's when the water might collect. So I'm going to try and get all of the rust off that I can, Rust-oleumize most of the floor of the trunk, and then put thick beads of clear silicone all around those rubber "drain plugs" or grommets. PITA tho...

..Oh, forgot to mention that the bolt holind the spare completely snapped in half and is still rusted in, and now I don't know how I'm going to keep my spare from moving around back there without having to cut out some of the metal (no thanks).
