Trunk Leaks - Subaru 2014 Outback

600

Asked by NoLoveHere Jun 04, 2019 at 09:25 PM about the Subaru Outback

Question type: General

The issues just keep on coming - started with burnt out headlights. Now went
out in morning (May '19) to discover puddles in my trunk, mileage = 50,000.
Colleague said this has happened since buying his 2011 Outlook and Subaru
says not their problem. Sometimes I get a puddle on passenger side floor
mat, but didn't think much of it. And also, the drivers door, window seal
started ripping apart this past month. And after just 18 months of ownership
of this brand-new car, fuse blew on trunk plug with a small tire inflator for a
bike. I've owned MANY cars and have never had so many issues as with this
one. Unacceptable. I take care of my cars driving only to work and
occasional trip - no offroading.

Any ideas on where the leak is and why?

1 Answer

Problem is probably coming from the third brake light. You will have to put sealant around light the red lens on outside. When I did that it stopped the leak.
