My trunk floor got wet again, this time from 6 in snow covered the car then melted, and wet spot was just in the right corner area.
Lifted the carpet and metal floor is rather dry everywhere, so I ruled out the leak from the spoiler drain or somewhere from up front. Water I guess dripped from above, then it got to be through the weatherstrip around the trunk. No obvious cut/ rip, and trunk lid shows dark witnessmark of contact.
I’m Wondering if the weatherstrip is aged/ compressesed to produce less contact pressure? When I place a thin plastic bag cut into a strip over the weatherstrip then close the lid, I can pull it out relatively smooth and easy. I wonder if someone with dry trunk can do this test and see how strong the contact pressure should be???
