The trunk in question is a 2000 Honda Accord. A few years ago, I was adding air to my donut and I noticed a puddle of water where the donut rest. I inspected the area and found nothing to concerning. I wipe it up and called it a day. Fast forward to a few days ago, I had a tire issue and I needed my donut. I notice the rim was wet so I looked into the space and found the area nearly flooded. The trunk liner is dry and I can’t find any holes anywhere. I live in Miami where it rains 9-11 months of the year. I like to plug up this leak.Any tips?

I assume there is a plastic drain plug to let water out. Make sure its intact. Remove the entire trunk carpet liner. If you have a very bright light to place under the car at night or in a dark garage, that will allow you to see any areas under the car that may have a leak. I bought a car that had a flooded trunk, peeled back the liner and the entire right wheel well was gone!
If this test doesn’t work, have a friend get into the trunk with a flashlight. Close the trunk, then go all over the exterior and top of the car with the garden hose. Make certain the liner is out. Sometimes, a leak from the roof or sunroof can trickle back to the trunk.
