So a few months ago I noticed that the trunk of my 2000 Camry was taking on water for some reason. Initially I thought it must have been some strange fluke, so I used a towel to dry the trunk and went on with my life. When it rained a few days later and I found more water in my trunk, I knew I had a problem.


So I opened the trunk, and it didn't take long to find the source of the problem. On the right side of the trunk where most of the water was pooled, I found a strange plastic hose dangling suspiciously. I followed the hose up to a drain that removes water from between the trunk lid and body. Surely this hose was not meant to be draining into the trunk!


If the fix isn't already obvious, I had to direct the dangling hose into the black drain hole. This drain lets the water safely exit behind the rear right tire. So if your Camry's trunk is taking on water, check the drain hose!
