Good stuff. My LS400 Boot Leak is driving me nuts, so I'll take your microscopic 'unlikely' source investigation approach. I think I will Seal EVERY outside joint or crevice. Take care, from the UK. .

This was VERY HELPFUL & I BELIEVE the resolve to my problem. That is why my rear view back camera has a wet line in & is now turned upside down because of the water in it coming from that slit!! You are a GENIUS!! Thank you❤

That is some good detective work. It seems like the water has to go up to get into the seem and enter the trunk!

to fix this the right way... replace the 3rd brake light gasket then that edge panel you mentioned is removable and behind it are 6 plastic push pins with circle gaskets that you can replace. you're welcome.

I have the same problem, does it worked for you ?

@1Dolamyte 3 ай бұрын

@PrototypePower yes. This actually works. Do 2 layers. Once, then let it dry then do the second layer

Hello, thanks for watching. I picked up a small tube of silicon seal at Lowe’s. I retrace all the seams in the trunk and sealed them up and that did the trick for me. Let me know if that works for you.

I am having the same leak issue. I am going to try this out and see how it goes. I already replaced the two side channels and new plastic rubber fasteners and that is dry but I have that same corner on the trunk lid leaking water.

Hello Jose. How did it go with the trunk lid leak? Did you try and seal it with that caulking?

@KILLERANIMAL Жыл бұрын

Jose it’s been two months we are worried…please if you need help just say it no shame!

I've been having water on my boot/trunk latch and its all mouldy on the mat. Thanks for video not sure my ford fiesta has that seal above the registration plate but mines definitely leaking on that plastic panel above the latch. Im going to get some black sealant on it as ive done my rear window seals before as it leaked there before and i fixed that issue.
