Default Water leak in the back.

My rear storage compartments of my 2000 C5 are always damp or wet.Has anyone else had this problem and figured out what it is?
Thanks.

I also have this problem. The moisture is causing some problems with my CD player, as well (the 12-disc mounted in the back).

It seems to be a relatively new problem, as I don't remember moisture getting in there before.

Your ABSOLUTE best bet to solve the issue is to remove the carpets and moldings and find someone who you can stuff back there while you wet the car down and watch for the exact spot where the water is entering. Lots of guessing wont solve the issue so I wont even begin to start.

Try that and let us know how you make out.
