WTF all wet

Guys, does the 1982 Rx7 have problems with water coming in when it's raining.
Theres water that comes in by the trunk it accumulates, in the center in the middle under the back window, then some water comes in from the winshield I think cause the passenger side floor gets soaked as well....

Check your drains. Pull the rear carpet wall up and just check the rubber lines clipped in there. If in doubt, just replace them (real cheap), but free up the holes first. Just cram a stick or something through there to free up the holes, lose the hoses, and take 'em to AutoZone and replace.

he's talkin about when you open the hatch. down in the lower corners are a couple holes between the seals and glass. they clog up with dirt and soot. also if you have a sunroof they are there also. they let the water drain instead of sit.
