Hi everyone:

I thought I would pass this experience on:

I fixed the water leak in my trunk as proven by the monsoon that we had yesterday - not a drop to be found.

Initially, I resealed my taillights to fix a leaky trunk but that did not solve the problem. I found that water was also leaking in at the body seams near the trunk seal (the seal is OK.) This is where the rear quarter panels are attached to the body via spotwelds. There are seams just below the back window and further down toward the rear of the car. At the factory, these seams are sealed with some sort of compound that eventually dries out and cracks. Water gets in through the cracks, drips into the trunk and settles in the wells on the left and right sides of the trunk. I swabbed a bunch of touch up paint in the cracked areas until they were smooth again. I suppose that silicone would also work. Now if I can just track down the source of the passenger footwell leak...
