Question Trunk leaking

Hi all,
I am new on here so bear with me. I recently bought a 2006 accord ex V6 with a deck spoiler. Water is leaking into the trunk every time i wash it or when it rains. I haven't been able to locate the leak. Are there any tips out there as to what could be the cause.
Thanks,
gne

Hello -

This doesn't seem like an "off Topic" topic

Most water comes in because the taillight seal has started to leak

However as you have a spoilier I would also check there

Thanks for the replys. I will check both avenues. I sure hope one turns out to be the culpret. I can't keep driving around with the trunk lid up, to dry it out. HA! HA!

I think if I was you I would pull the spoiler off and reseal it with black gasket maker.

try not to use too much of it, just a light coating on the existing rubber gasket.

New tail light gaskets or re-seal your old ones with silicone.
