i recently replace my weatherstipping with the oem stuff. and i notice it is still leaking but not as bad. it leaks were the safe in the hatch is and on the opisite side in the same spot. it seems like the trunk doesnt latch far enough down. i have notice spilling over the top of the weatherstripping, if u have any ideas let me know.

 

It's probably leaking where the glass meets the deck lid. I removed my deck lid and resealed the entire thing. You could also run a bead where they meet and check for leaks again.

 

ill check it out, but it didnt leak intil this winter when the hatch froze up and i opened it.

 

As long as you have good weather stripping it shouldn't leak. The seal under the glass gets old and often leaks, I would start there, good luck.

 

thanx

 

If you need any advice just pm me or do a search, this has been covered many times.

 

its still leaking thought you said it stoped

 

Yep

 

Problem fixed, just silicon the curved shape things that meet the weatherstripping on both sides and problem fixed.

 

Good, even though it's just a temp fix. I totally removed my deck lid from the glass and resealed it the right way, glad you stopped the leak.

 

mine always leaked too but then i took it off ( to aligne that pesky trunk hatch that is never EVER aligned on these cars) i resealed it with cauk and shes dry now!

 

IF they were leaking, id check for rust. I noticed a SLIGHT leak, not more then a drop had started, and I pulled the entire decklid apart (gave me an excuse to align it ). When I got the thing apart, there was some borderline bad rust under the silicon that was under those plastic spacers. The water had gotten in and stayed, and had started to eat everything up. Also, if you find a hint of rust, keep digging... It'll get worse. Thankfully I found it before it was too bad, and there were no rust holes (close though). I also found a small leak in the bead where the lid meets the window.

 

i pulled the carpet and por 15 the trunk floor pan.

 

ya, thats a good idea too, but not quite what I was saying haha. The actuall decklid, the metal piece of the hatch itself, was rusty under all the silicon on mine. Just somthing to be aware of.

 

o crap, never thought of that, ill have to check it.
