Water coming through tailgate on 2005 Honda Odyssey

Get
solution for this online at www.reliable-store.com and get complete guide on whether to repair or not, service it, and how to repair etc

Just give it time to dry or take it out and dry it.

is your spare tyre located under the trunk carpet ? if so i expect that the tyre well is filled with water , has the accident damage been repaired yet ? if not then thats how water is getting in so get the repair done , if has been repaired take back to the repairer , the usual place after a repair to leak is where the rear bumper/fender is bolted to the body , these bolts need sealing as they are when vehicle is manufactured

The struts on the hatch is worn. Replace both of them.

Check brake light switch

I would have all your weather stripping checked around your windows and doors (rubber pieces around windows and doors). If it is not pushed up in the slot like its supposed to be that could cause a leak. Hope this helps, James Booth. Please rate this. :)

Hi,
I hate holding the heavy door while trying to load or unload...ha.
Autozone sells these cylinders. They aren't expensive, nor are they difficult to install.
I hope this helps you. Good luck!

Look on ebay for new replacements, they come with instructions. Ball and socket type joint and you spread or slide a clip to release the ball. New ones go on same way.

You have to replace the lift supports on the rear door, found at this link:

Or at your local parts store or ebay.
Be careful not to drop it into you or drop it to hard and brake the glass.
I would see if there are any recalls on this for your model and vin number too. Your vehical seems kind of new for this to happen already, but it is possible.
Here are some links to recalls:

Try to reset the tailgate by removing the no.7 (7.5 amp) fuse in the underdash fuse box. Open and close the tailgate manually, reinstall the fuse, and try the open tailgate button. If that doesn't work you would have take it to the dealer, where they can check for DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes). Honda Al
