01 Leaking trunk (with pictures)

[lesabrefan]

I can't figure out where the water is coming from. I caulked up the lower left "corner" of the window, thinking that was it, since the old caulk looked dry and a little cracked, but that did not solve the problem. I can't see what feeds this compartment. The water coming in is clean and the leak occurs with the car not moving, thus something from the "heavens", maybe problem with a roof? I don't have a sunroof, I looked at the left side of the rear window, the molding seems to be tight. What could it be?


Offending compartment




Caulked lower left-hand side of the window, which did not help.

That's a tough area to see where the leak is actually coming from.....

In cases like this, I get a soap solution bottle, and spray all suspected areas on the outside of the car.....then I get my blow gun and have a long tube attached, so that I can still it up in there and concentrate the area with air, where I think the leak is, and you will see the soap solution bubble up, when you have found it.....
