Hi Jerry;

This model Accord is notorious for leaking around the outside tail light assembly.

The water runoff from the back of the car runs into the gutters around the trunk lid on each side, then "dumps" right on to the top of each outside tail light. The gaskets are foam type that dry out with age and allow water to enter the trunk.

I have a 90 and 91 Accord that did the same thing.

You can get replacement gaskets at the Dealer and replace them. Or you might get the part number from the dealer, and shop online. I think I paid $10-$15 each. Be careful not to overtighten. Just a snug fit to compress the gasket should do. It took care of my problem on both Accords. You should only need the 2 outside gaskets, not the two that mount on the trunk lid.

Hope this helps...Good luck...

Mike
