Water leak in the trunk

Hey guys, i'm hoping fellow tsxers have a solution for this, but i recently found out my trunk leaks water when there is heavy rain.

I noticed the water leak on the inside frame of the body, but not on the trunk lid. I can't seem to find out where the leak is coming from, but feel like it may have seeped through the back windshield and run along the inner frame.

Apparently TSX have this problem? My TSX is 2005, and i am the third owner, would anyone know of a solution to this problem?

water leak has been fixed. the dealer had to remove the rear bumper and found it was leaking from the driver side near the tail lamp.
can i ask what the charge was for this service? unfortunately i live in Toronto, so i can't even compare in terms of service charges, but at least i have an idea.

I don't think my leak is from the trunk because it gets into the arm of the trunk lid, which has the plastic cover.. when the lid is closed, water collects in the plastic part. Somehow i hope its that the window is poorly installed, since that would result in a leak entering the trunk where i'm seeing it.

Thanks SC_TSX90, for your tsx solution

Unforunately, all the TSX can leak from different place. I only paid for 3 hours for labor and since I work for a dealership, and our company has a honda store, i got a chance to take it there since i get dealer pricing instead of the acura dealer where i usually take it to

How fortunate. I hope when i take my car to the dealership, the total cost won't be too great (>$300 - even so thats fairly high)

Three hour for labor here would run u about $320. I only paid under $140.00. Big difference.
For me it was the sunroof drain tube drivers side rear located in trunk behind trunk liner near fuel filler door tube was disconnected from connector to outside tested my drains with a few bottles of water by pouring into track while roof was open all four corners drained to ground near wheel wells hope this helps! 08 tsx Jcl9 vin dc sport cai hondata tune with plm headers custom single exit exhaust with DC "fart can"
