    Sedan Trunk leak... not the sunroof or taillights

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a leak in my trunk coming from right below the rear windshield on the right (passanger) side of my car.

    I thought it might be the sunroof drains or taillight but I'm now 99% sure it's neither of those. I belive it's the seal on the rear windshield or the trunk lid seal.

    I got in the trunk while it was raining in and saw where the water is dripping from, the pictures below show the seam the drops are coming from. Any body ever seen this and know what is causing it?

    Crack in the weld seam there would be my guess

    That's what I thought at first but that seal looks like it's in perfect shape, the paint isn't even cracked or chipped, even under the seal it looks good. Plus the water would have to be running uphill due to the way the seam overlaps (stranger things have happened though)

    On second thought, the sealant on the windshield may be broken near the bottom. That would explain why you've got water from there
