Hopefully you get a seal that has not aged on the shelve for the last 20

checked trunk seal, appeared good, however it was easily removed, and
pulled out of groove without any difficulty, so it would seem that it is
not sealed good enough for water. Wondering if I have to remove old glue
on the rubber before applying a coat of the flowable silicon sealant, and
if so,

Don't cheap out. Get a new one. The glue isn't there to keep the

the ledge under the window, but it could be running from the trunk lid

I have an '87 300SDL that has a peculiar leak in the trunk area. When the
car is on a grade, with the trunk on the downhill and it rains hard, the
trunk get wet. However, if it is on the grade with the trunk on the
uphill, no water gets in regardless of how hard it rains. Does this sound
Check your trunk seal. Clean it well, make sure it is not cracked or
