[Shotimes] Wet Trunk

[Byrer]

All of the other suggestions are good ones. My 92 had a leak for several
years. We tried new weatherstrip and silicone around the taillights. None of
that worked. Thought that maybe the leak was around the spoiler holes.
Sealed that several times with no results. It finally took getting into the
trunk and having the AWA "hose" the car down.

If you open the back doors and look at the end of the weatherstrip/rubber
drip rail on the roof. Where the quarter panel/roof panel/body side panel
meet at the end of that rubber, you will see a roughness in the paint (might
look like it has paint brush marks in it), this is seam sealer. Our 92 on
the passenger side had a small crack in it (about the size of a pin hole).
As far fetched as it sounds, this was the source of the leak. I used a small
piece of strip caulk and the trunk has been dry for several years now.
