Help, hatch leaking
Hey guys my rear hatch is leaking at the struts and possibly elsewhere. It drips directly onto my rear speakers If anyone knows what i should look for to fix that any help would be appreciated. Also sometimes water pools in the back, i have no clue where this is coming from but not from the same place i suspect because it doesnt quite leak that much from the struts.

This Happened to me in my 91 Hatch as well when I got it 6 to 7 months ago....Check all the weather stripping and make sure it is in there good and tight and make sure there are no craps or holes or rips in any of the stripping. Then make sure the windows in the back of the hatch close properly. Then also where you might wanna check as well is the spare tire compartment and make sure there are no holes or rust spots if so you can go to any hardware store and get a seal for it or at Autozone or your local automotive shop....And if your still having leak problems you might as well tear your whole back end and replace all panels and stripping and get all holes sealed properly!!!

Do you have a sunroof? If you do check the drain tubes. remove your headliner. You will be able to see where they are attached at the base of the sunroof (on all four sides leading down over the top of your windows) and get a friend to go to the drain points (wheel wells and rear of car) and plug the end with his thumb while you blow air down the tube. Then if you do find a leak make sure you dont have any punctures in your seals and then check for RUST!

Oh btw my car is an 89 CRX SI, i do have the sunroof. It is a possibility that that is where it is leaking from. And about the headliner, does Honda sell new ones? I think if I do end up braking it i might as well replace with a new one rather than another broken one, thx for all the responses btw, its been really helpful and hopefully ill be able to get this damn thing fixed
