re water in trunk of probe jlong emcnext tamu edu james long writes in article r crn g transfer stratus com tszeto sneezy ts stratus com tommy szeto writes water gradually builds up in the trunk of my friend s ford probe every once in a while we would have to remove the spare and scoop out the water under the plywood carpet cover on the trunk i would guess this usually happens after a good thunder storm a few qs is this a common problem where are the drain holes located for the hatch i noticed this is my probe also when recently cleaning out the back i think the water is coming up through some rubber stoppered holes beneath the spare mine looked slightly worn and there was no water or water damage above the level of the spare area this has taken a low priority since i just found out while rotating my tires that i have a torn cv boot ugh i ve got an gt it has the smoked taillight assembly i think this is where the water is getting in when i first got it had it for a month one of the rear taillights fogged up with moisture i took it in to the dealer and they replaced the entire assembly it happened to the other one about months later this time i happened to look in the spare tire well and noticed water standing in there the dealer was more reluctant this time to replace it but i convinced them to fix it they must have had to deal with a number of other probes with the same problem i haven t noticed water in the taillamps or the trunk for the last years but just last month the taillamp just fogged up again i m going to try to take it back to get them to fix it again i m real tempted to drill some vent and drain holes in the tops and bottoms of the assembly and forget about it this is getting very annoying almost every other gt i ve seen has had this problem vel vel natarajan nataraja rtsg mot com motorola cellular arlington hts il
