must come from the taillights. Don't know how that thing below the lights is called, but that's in 95% the case. Tight it with silicone and you should have solved the water trouble.

Or do you have water in your taillights. Might also be a reason that when the taillight is full, the water runs into your car.
 
I don't think its from the taillights... cos when the street are clear from water I dont have trouble!
 
As wiskimike said, it's most likely the rear light seals + the ducts underneath them. Just take them out clean the area, use non mould silicone and seal them up. This is the most common place for it to be leaking in.

If it still leaks in after that, remove your rear plastics, sit in the boot and get someone to hose the back of the car while you look for leaks.

will deffo agree here and would go with the vents under the lights :nice: common as muck
 
Its the vent underneth the lights open them clean it and put silicone all round it and then your done and bumper should fit too
 
It also could be leaking through the vents, Remove your rear bumper, Take your vents out once its out give it a good clean then get some clear silicone around the seal on the seals around the fixings. Fit vent again & run some silicone around the top and sides of the vent.
 
Thanks for helping me out on water leaking! Can some one answer my bumper quetion pls!
 
itll be vents under lights and/or light seals, i just bought new seals from honda for mine last year and solved my problem, ive still got them from breaking my car, expensive for some foam but like to do things properly and looked after my car
