water in trunk!!!

Where all do you caulk with silicon? I caulked every nook and cranny in the 4th gen, but the 5th gen leaks..... Anyone have a pic?

Thanks

Did you seal the rubber gaskets for the lights?

I haven't done anything yet. It seemed to be a little more wet towards the front of the trunk. I'll do the water-test to see if the lights are leaking.

Most of the time its the tail light gaskets like mentioned earlier. I think they are about $10 a piece.

Never heard of water getting into the trunk area, let us know if you find the source.

It was the taillight gaskets for me. All the water ended up in the spare tire well.

I just took the plugs out by the spare tire, and never had to worry about water being in the trunk again.
