Massive water in Trunk

[HeadyFirebird'00]

I went to take off the t-tops and popped the trunk and noticed a good 3 in. puddle of water at the bottom. it was so wierd i never had this before, i did a good check on everything, and it hasnt rained yet to check it it still doing it. thats crappy.

Rear hatch gasket prolly needs replaced... costs bout 100 bucks installed at a body shop.

Its not wise to drive your swimming pool aorund with you.

mine's done it twice in the last month or 2. I'll be taking a corner and hear sloshing sounds from the back. Think it was from heavy rains. Vac'd it out at the gas station both times, but haven't gotten around to seeing what is causing it. Will find out in a few days and get it fixed hopefully, esp since i'm getting a sub/amp setup back there soon!!!!

mine did that, but only during the winter when there was a lot of snow/ice building up and sittin on the rear hatch. when it would start to melt, the pile of snow/ice would hold the water in place and worked its way in around the gasket. hasnt been a problem since.

Ok...found the problem......The glass is separated on the bottom from the rest of the hatch. Looks like the seal somehow came off and is separated just a little from the metal. How weird is that?!

[HeadyFirebird'00]

huh? where?

[phil97.3.8]

ok not good...looking at the back of the car it's like where the glass is supposed to be attached to the metal it's just not, and the separation goes from the left side of the bottom all the way to the right side, but not on the sides of the glass itself.

Is it supposed to be glued on with something? I don't see how it's supposed to connect.
