Normally a weld there then sealed at the factory and painted over. Stuff gets hard and dries out . Trunk looks great. Mold/mildew. I would scrub it with some diluted bleach. Then let air dry.
Ok thanks. Leave the talc power in the trunk afterward?

I waxed the inside (mostly the trunk floor pan) with liquid Meguiar's wax. It's nice and slick! The leak may be coming from the waste gate (pressure relief valve) area in the right-rear.

It's fine to leave talc power in there? put some under the trunk liner too?
