did you check out the link? did you remove the trim piece that is directly under the rear glass, it goes from one side of the car to the other. you need to remove that piece unless you did already. if your leak is the same as condition #7 you will be able to see the water coming in. I just used black silicone sealer and smeared a tight bead into the seam under the rear glass frame.

Yep, I removed the trim and ran a bead of black RTV silicone between the trunk and body. I'll leave the trim off for now and see how it does in the next rain. However, even after removing the plastic trim, hosing the car down, and observing water in the trunk, I'm still not a 100% certain where the water is entering. We'll see.

craig, I put the silicone in the area that you highlighted in red. I had to go out and double check my car to be sure. That should take care of the leak . the other thing with these cars to do is if you are able to park with the nose of the car on an incline (uphill). Steve
