I have a problem with water getting in my trunk and I just can't figure out how. So far I replaced the rubber molding that seals the trunk lid and it still leaks. Is it from the taillights? I have noticed that I am not the only one with this problem as do all the daily driven late model NSX over here in Hawaii has the same problem with moisture in the trunk and leaky taillights. This is a serious problem because I keep some of my expensive Snap-on tools in my trunk as well as my $700 Arai track helmet. Is this a common problem? Do I have to live with this? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

There are some rubber seals at the bottom of the trunk (under the carpet). You may check them.
I had the same problem. It turned out that both my rear taillights were leaking from the top of the light, this was allowing moisture to enter my trunk. I replaced both lights and no longer have a problem (unfortunetly not cheap). I know many people have had luck just replacing the seal behind the lights but this did not work for me as the actual lights were leaking. Others have also drilled small drain holes into the bottom of the lights. Many people on this site have stated that this solved their problem. If you do a search you will find several good posts on this topic.
Drilling small holes near the bottom of the tailights solved the problem for me. Also, put a stick of chalk in with your tools. That will soak up any moisture that gets near them.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Re: Water in Trunk? An Adjustment?
When I first got my 91 NSX I washed it often and ended up with water in my trunk also. The rubber seal looked okay. After some investigation I found a threaded plastic adjuster on the lid (i think) that allowed me to get my trunk lid to close tighter. No more water! Jeff

I'm having the same issue. Has anyone tried this?

I think the main difference between the two is going to be the price. If you don't mind cutting out a template likely save yourself 50 or so dollars. I remember someone saying the restotuner material wasn't as pliable which made for tighter fitting lights which may cause alignment issues or more torque applied to the nut which could cause issues to the studs.
