The other day, by chance, I found water leaking into the trunk. It would have been difficult to notice if not for removing the carpet and trim and noticing water pooling in the spare tire well. I checked the seals and they looked good. They were clean and pliable without a hint of drying or cracking. I then pulled back the seal and found this:
Which in turn has caused this:
Guys, please check your seals everywhere. I can't stress this enough, especially for those of you who live in a high moisture environment. I had a severe corrosion problem a few years ago with my battery area and I certainly don't want to deal with rust anymore. As for my seal it's only a $30 piece, but I have to remove all the rust around the perimeter and properly prime the area before installation. I enjoy the wrenches but I despise doing rusty body work. I'm thinking this might be a professionals job.
