Took a closer look at those rear vents and they're almost directly underneath the turn signal/backup light modules in the Z33. If water is coming up that high, it's not from splashback, it's from backing the boat up into the lake too far...
If you go bombing through deep water crossings you kinda deserve the consequences of the actions, nothing personal but what would you expect to happen.
I tend to forget that these are some people's only car's
Found LEAK, found LEAK, well I had no choice but to pull all the paneling and styrofoam out, I hosed my car down and there it was... leaking on both side of the taillights..
Now the billion dollar question is - why would water leak in from the taillights??? I noticed both tail lights no no gasket around them, are then even supposed to have gaskets around them? Ugh... what loos wrong here?
You could be getting water in from your wiper hole, your tail lights, seal around hatch it's unlikely the water came from below unless you went into a really deep puddle.
Check out the big brains on brad.
I can't remember if they have a gasket or not, you could try flixi seal or something similar that's removable for when or if you need to replace a bulb
WELL found the source of the leak, about time... I actually have 2 locations where water is coming in...
1 - upon removing the entire plastic inside the trunk and running a hose on the car I noticed the 2 clips that hold the bumper in on bother side was the spot where water is coming in, I guess the car was hit because that is the only explanation as to why water would leak in. I used black silicone on those clips and a day later and a long water job from a hose and no water is entering from those clips...
2 - for some reason water is coming in on the drivers side of the tail light, I guess a little sealant would do the trick as well... we shall see.
I know this is an older post but I just started having the same issue. Mine never leaked all the times it gets washed but since i had to drive in the rain for 2 days it started leaking into my spare tire well. And only driving in it. So im thinking its the vents you're talking about. Hopefully.

I siliconed the vents but that actually wasn't the problem, with my car it was the tail lights, somehow water was creeping through on every train, I hope that helps..
you'd know for sure. Dry out all of the existing water first, then hose down the top for a minute or two(not crazy forceful, just uniform). Check for leaks. Showboxjiofi.local.htmltplinklogin
