Default Re: Need step by step procedure to test for leaks

It hasn't rained here in forever. How should I proceed...
I need to protect the electronics in the trunk, how do I do that?
and if I test one thing at a time am I likely to detect and isolate a leak?
I'm thinking start with hose on headlamp, then at gas cap, then spoiler, what else?

Trying to proceed in an orderly fashion. Please redirect if this is covered in previous thread, thanks

You need to get into the trunk well at the right rear of the car and see if there is water in there! Do it NOW before the expensive central vacuum pump and other electronics get flooded. If you find evidence of water intrusion there, repair the common areas of leakage (which you should do anyway because I guarantee it is leaking and will eventually ruin the electronics in there).
