Window wet/ trunk flooded

Help.
We’ve checked the plug in the trunk and the filter behind the glove box and i believe one other place that i can’t remember at the moment. The seals are an supposedly fine.

Problem. My windshield is soaked. Spare tire area is full of water. 2 different steroes have shorted out.
I’m extremely frustrated as this is going to ruin my car if we can’t figure it out.

What year vehicle is this?

Year, make, model?

Your windshield is soaked? Well, if it rains (or even if you go through a car wash) it should be soaked. Apparently you’re talking about soaked on the inside? You’ll have to be more descriptive.

The spare tire area being full of water is descriptive enough for that. It’s normally from bad trunk and/or tail light seals. You said “the seals are supposedly fine.” what seals? And according to whom?

Get in trunk. Have someone spray car with hose.

Or you could just put towels in the trunk below the ledgenwherenthe body meets the trunk, under the rear window, and at the tail lights.

The year of your civic would help. different years had different areas where leaks were coming from. If you have a spoiler, it could be leaking from where the bolts go through the trunk lid. the bolt seal crack or deteriorate and water comes in. also on some years the leak is where the rear glass meets the roof.
