Leaky trunk solved

157 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  SSMOKEE
I kept getting water in the trunk lid, in the area of the lock. After researching, I found the leakage to be the third brake light. Everytime a good rain came, water entered the trunk lid and poured on me as I opened it. Fairly easy to replace, the only difficult part is that the three small screws holding the bar in place were rusted on. You can see in the pictures how bad the gasket/foam was around the lens. Enjoy the ride!

Thank you for that. My car was in heavy rain for the first time in about 9 months and exactly the same happened a few hours ago(y)

No problem. I know you can order just the lens that has the foam/gasket on it. I just opted to buy the complete assembly, since there had been so much water in there over the years.
