I cleaned the rust and painted the area the best I can. But I have holes in it, and it's not great. is there a replacement pan I can weld in place? Still haven't found out where it's leaking in from though. I sealed up the driver section of the spoiler with Toyota FIPG (blk). I'm gonna remove and re-seal the other 2 spoiler sections too, hopefully that will work.

Have you checked the weather seals on your tail lights? Once they go bad water can get in that way too. One way you can tell is if there is condensation built up inside the lenses.
When i started tubbing my car, i cut out the spare tire well and saved it for someone who might need it....lemme know if youre interested, i can snap a pic or 2...dunno how much it woudl be to ship though
i thought mine just had some surface rust......until i poked at it with a screwdriver and it went through and banged my muffler
anyone know of replacement for these gaskets? i would like to replace mine. my turns are sometimes little wet. happy 400th!
PM sent. I'm pretty sure it's leaking from the spoiler/rear wiper. b/c the rear hatch has some rust under the panel and the wiper motor area is rusted up pretty good. tail lights look good.
i think its the hatch glass and trim. mine needs to be resealed at the hatch area and thats where my leak is form. my taillights dont leak just the stupid left turn one does...Supra5MGTE said:

I was getting water in from the top of my hatch. Water was running down inner channelsthings. You may want to pull your inspection covers on the sides as well water will sit in there and rust out the rear quarters. When I first got my car my spare tire was under water and I had like an inch of water in the rear quarters. I adjusted the hatch all was fixed.

and don't forget the taillights can sometimes come away from the black frame so it may be getting inbetween there
