Hey Vinnie, does your CR-V have water in the spare wheel well? mine does, tried a fix by sealing some holes behind bumper, but no luck. would be great if you could share some knowledge?
So it’s very tricky with water leaks, it could be coming from many different areas. Typically we get a hose and lay it on the roof of the car, run the water for 5-10 minutes and check for leaks on the inside of the vehicle. A lot of times you have to remove all the interior plastics so you can actually see if water is trickling in through any holes or seams. So once you can confirm the water isn’t leaking in the car from up above, then you work your way down the sides, and eventually at the bottom. Sometimes there’s holes that are under the spare tire, I’ve heard people say they’re for draining the spare tire area if it ever fills with water. You can put rubber plugs in those holes to seal them up but also still gives you the option to pull the plug and drain if needed. TLDR: pull the spare tire, completely dry area with towels. Run water hose on roof and see if water is coming in. Seal as needed. Start from top and work your way to bottom of vehicle. Hope this helps!
