    Hello I have a 2000 Grand Prix coup and I am getting water in the trunk. I silicone the rear spoiler but I am still getting water in. I spoke with someone at the parts store and he said it sounds like probably water is getting in through the rear window. Noticed the other day, the place where the spare tire goes had about 1 inch of water in it. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

    just pull the drains out and let it drain???

    i would hop in the trunk and have someone soak it with water and watch to try and see where its coming in at, that would be the quickest and easiest way to find out

    Yes, let it drain out yesterday and cleaned and let dry all day. I will give that a try this weekend coming up.

    I had the same problem with my spoiler leaking and i just popped those drains out for a few weeks until i had time to mess with it, when i first did see it it had like 3-4inchs of water around the spare tire

    Figured out problem, water was getting in to spoiler some how and dripping down bolts. Had to take spoiler off, adding some gaskets under spoiler and inside trunk side where the bolts are. Problem is when I took spoiler off, I ripped up some paint so not I have to get trunk painted. Needed it anyway, had acid rain spots on spoiler
