#17 of 36 water in floor board & trunk by naedr Dec 16, 2007 (4:30 pm)
I bought my 1998 Neon new. The trunk has always been damp after a rain. During the last few months, we have found standing water in the rear floor board on the driver side and damp rear carpet on the passenger side. For those posting about adding silicone around the taillights, where does the silicone need to be placed? Any help would be appreciated.

Replying to: naedr (Dec 16, 2007 4:30 pm) don't use silicone, it's very messy. Try LATEX black caulk, you can clean it up with water.   You have to remove the tail light assembly to properly seal it.   You can test for leaks by putting newspaper down in the trunk and spraying the trunk lid and tail lights. Then see where the water comes in. From the back? Tail lights. From the top? Trunk seal.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 16, 2007 5:05 pm) Thanks for the info. Does the factory install a rubber seal around the tail light assembly? If so, does the caulking go on in place of or in addition to the factory seal? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 17, 2007 7:35 pm) naedr (Dec 17, 2007 7:42 pm)

Replying to: naedr (Dec 17, 2007 7:14 pm) Just lay it over the rubber seal with your finger and then clean up the excess after you install the tail light assembly. Replies to this message: naedr (Dec 17, 2007 7:42 pm)

#22 of 36 Re: water leak underdash passenger side! [redpath] by ncstrider2 Jan 02, 2008 (10:38 am)
Replying to: redpath (Apr 09, 2007 10:16 am) I am having the same problem. Water comes into the AC compartment and drips out through the blower motor. I've removed the blower and don't see anything obvious. I've figured there must be a drain that is plugged. Does anyone have any ideas? I've already fixed the rear lights leak a couple of years ago so that is not the problem. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 02, 2008 11:21 am)

Replying to: ncstrider2 (Jan 02, 2008 10:38 am) Yes the AC has a drain, usually you can see it through the firewall if you lift the engine lid. It is supposed to take condensation to the outside of the car and let it drip onto the ground.
#24 of 36 Plymouth Neon 1998 - coolant leak by slawson2 Jan 04, 2008 (12:05 pm)
Does anyone have problems with antifreeze leaking? I've had the thermostat and housing replaced a few months ago. The timing belt and water pump were replaced a year ago. Somehow, the problem keeps occuring thus causing my car to overheat. I intend to get rid of this car soon; however has anyone else had a reoccuring coolant leak. If so, what was the problem and how was it fixed?   Thanks Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 04, 2008 4:25 pm)

Replying to: slawson2 (Jan 04, 2008 12:05 pm) Given that this is a Neon, you should really have it checked for a head gasket problem.
