Camry :: Trunk Water Leakage
I have had my Camry for 9 months and unfortunately didnt know that water was going inside my trunk every time it rained, the car was washed, or snow melted! I took it to the dealer to have it looked at only to find out the trunk body seal needed to be replaced. I have had cars over 10 years and water in the trunk was never an issue.
This is my first Camry and I must admit I am not satisfied with the purchase. I hope my experience gets better.

View 4 RepliesToyota - Camry :: 2007 - Water Getting Into The Trunk / Resealing?
Water is getting in the trunk of my 2007 Toyota Camry. I need to replace the seal or weather stripping around the trunk, because it's come unattached in some places. I did some looking, but I am not familiar with some of the brands and vendors I see. Most of it is generic.
Are there particular brands with which you have had good luck? I've never replaced this sort of thing before.
Celica :: 1989 Overheating And Push Water Out Through Overflow Bottle
I've got an 1989 Celica St that as it warms up it pushes water out through the overflow bottle. The car seems to be cooling ok as long as I don't get stuck in traffic. My daily commute is approximately 40 miles and if I keep refilling the radiator the car stays relatively cool. However, if I do not stop and let the car cool off between commuting to and from work the car loses enough coolant that eventually it starts to overheat and I need to pull over and refill the radiator once again. I have replaced the radiator cooling fan already and am going to flush the radiator this afternoon. I am thinking that the head gasket might be leaking and causing my problems. What to try next b4 I tear the head off? BTW the motor is a 2.0 L 16 valve. Hoping I can fix this problem w/o a head gasket.

Yesterday I was adding some pressure in the tires and I found that the plastic cover under the oil sump is loose on the driver's side and the driver side air scoop (not the brake cooler scoop) is missing. I know it was the guy who changed the oil last time, probably 7 bolts where missing. I went under the car and fit some bolts from my tool box to secure the plastic plate. I was asking myself what do these scoops do? Are they an aerodynamic stuff or coolers to the transmission? Or something else?

On Tuesday evening we had some torrential downpours in my area. Yesterday when I went to open my trunk after work yesterday to collect my bag from work there was water coming from behind the plastic cover inside the trunk lid. I think I narrowed it down to the two tail lights that are installed in the trunk lid. The gasket on the passenger side looks deformed. Mine is a 2013 SE.
View 2 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Trunk Water On Right Side?
I have water in my trunk. It seems to be more on the right side (the passenger side) but if it rains hard enough it gets all over the trunk. Because both of my key fobs have dead batteries I haven't gone into the trunk in about 2 weeks so now its all moist and smells like a dirty fishtank in there. I even had a small piece of plywood in there that is now warped and moldy. I've seen some threads that talk about a drainage tube that runs from the sunroof to the trunk? Where in the trunk would I find this drainage tube? That would turn me off VWs forever. Just when i thought the Passat was the best car I ever had. I was planning on having this car another 5 years.
View 2 RepliesYaris/Scion & Vitz :: How To Empty Or Remove Windshield Wiper Fluid Bottle From 2003 Toyota Echo
I currently have summer washer fluid in my 2003 Toyota Echo's windshield washer fluid tank. I need to replace this with winter washer fluid within the next few days before the temperature goes below freezing.
When I pop open the hood, I see that the bottle is located on the left hand side of the engine bay. The bottle has a black cap with a picture of a fountain (wiper spray).
I have no experience working on the mechanics of a car. However, I would like to know the easiest way of replacing my summer wiper fluid with winter wiper fluid. The tank is currently full with the summer washer fluid.
a) How do I go about emptying the bottle completely without removing it?
b) If I need to remove the bottle and then empty it completely, how do I do this and what tools do I need?

I have a 2003 Camry. When I start it, I hear a "gurgling" sound, like bubbling water.Sounds like it is coming fom under the dashboard, but can't be sure.Heater core is my first guess, but heat is fine and it seems to be coming from the driver's side - not the passenger's side where the heater core is located.

I am getting water at the very front of the trunk, nearest the passenger compartment. Might be the drains in that vicinity that might be plugged causing an overflow there .Rest of the trunk is dry. The only wet area is immediately underneath the pull-out "shade" thing that has to be in place for the top to operate. Some indication that the water is coming from above that, since it is wet also.

I have a 2001 B5.5 passat saloon and I'm getting water in the trunk, damp carpet and water in the spare wheel well. It seems to be mainly on the left side (as you look into the trunk) I've checked the rear light seals and can't find any evidence of a leak, where else should I look?
View 2 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 1998 - Water Drip From Trunk Latch
Over the last couple of months, my '98 Passat 1.8T Sedan has started to show an annoying habit, in addition to the multiple other ones of which I will never solve.
After it has rained and things have dried up pretty well everywhere, if I open up the trunk, a stream of water always drips down from the latch. It gets pretty annoying when I have things in the trunk. I have looked everywhere on the trunk lid hoping to find a location of ingress - nothing. I made sure the channels on the side of the trunk are clear of debris too.The water does not seem to be collecting in the receptacle (on the bumper) for the latch either. It is somehow collecting in the lid. I once had a cracked license plate light holder cover, so I replaced that thinking the problem would be solved. No luck.
The only other thing I have noticed is that over the last week twice after trying to open the trunk with the handle, the handle would not release properly ( it would move up and get stuck and the trunk would not open). When I wiggled the handle, it would pop back down and then I could open it properly. The two things are probably not related.
How to solve the water drip from the latch, or at least, where the water is coming from?
Passat (B6) :: 2008 - Water Leak Into The Sides Of The Trunk?
=I have a Passat TSI 2.0 08 (48.000 Km) and since the begining of the raining season I have noticed that the basis of the lining of the lateral is soaked after rain. In order to investigate it bertter, I have removed the lining and did some tests with water. I came across a problem with the gasket and that hose that drains the water. It looks like the gasket is a little bit loose to press the hose in such a way it insulates its base avoiding water leaking into the trunk. Thus the water rolls outside the hose down to the trunk sides.
View 12 RepliesFord - Taurus :: 1999 - Trunk Full Of Water
I got a 99 Ford Taurus and recently I wanted to remove the wheel to see if I can change the front breaks myself. When I opened the trunk to get the jack, to my surprise, the recess where the spare wheel is stored (below the ‘carpet’ in the trunk) was full of water, I am talking a couple of inches deep! The spare wheel itself, which is relatively new and rarely used, was completely ruptured.I don’t know where the water could have come from.
I suppose it could have been rain, but the cardboard boxes that were stored in the trunk (above the ‘carpet’) were not wet. To drain the water out, I found a big (2” x 3”) hole in the bottom of the trunk that is plugged with a rubber plug. I removed the plug and let the water drain. But now I am just puzzled. Where did the water come from? And how come there are no drain holes in the bottom of the trunk? And why did the spare wheel rupture? And how can I prevent all this from happening again?
