[JaCkaL829]

Great writeup, I just did this to my car today as well :thumbsup:

 

[acuraanimal]

yea i had the same problem, i didnt feel like ordering a new gasket.. so i just took out the tail lights and on the old gasket you can see where it presses against the car. and i just put some cock(idk how to spell it) around the taillight gasket and no leaks since

cost like 3 dollars =)

Thanks bro i`ve been trying to find the problem for about two months.Now I know what it is:thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

[TypeSinVA]

and quick correction... you dont HAVE to order 2 gaskets.. you can order one.... They say minimum of 2 if you want to fix both gaskets... i only ordered one

dude you are the man this is incredible.

hell i havent done anything with cars my entire life and just got an '05 RSX as my first car not even a month ago.

noticed the huge assed pool of water and found your thread and it works.

if i could do it anyone can.

i was able to order the gaskets for my '05 too its just a different part number the one part is A51 instead of A11 or whatever.

thanks again

Wonderful thread!

I bought a Certified Pre-Owned '06 Type-S 2 months ago and found water under the spare tire today.

Back to the dealership it goes!

Do I have to remove the rear bumper??

 

[dboyzalter]

Damn I dont want to do all that haha, great thread. I have a towel hanging out in the back. I thought it was because I didnt clean the snow off my car or something stupid like that. damn car.

Nice DIY.

Do I have to remove the rear bumper??

No, the two screws under each headlight can be reached from under the rear bumper.

Good writeup man. Wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't say the same thing happened to my ek hatch.

Honda tail light gaskets ftl. :ugh:

 

[rsx-ftw]

what if you double up on the gaskets?

 

[M_nus]

I just did this today; thanks for posting it. I'm also thinking of taping up the area where water runs behind the taillight, just to make sure this doesn't happen again. What a mission to replace these.

I've got this problem and now have rust...does Acura have a recall on this issue?

 

[JackandCoke]

what if you double up on the gaskets?

why would you wanna double up on gaskets?... just remove and scrape
off the old one and put everything back together.. i did this a few months back and have no water in my trunk

 

[twis]

^yea dude i replaced these in at the beginning of november so its been almost 7 months and absolutley no water
