    Good stuff. My LS400 Boot Leak is driving me nuts, so I'll take your microscopic 'unlikely' source investigation approach. I think I will Seal EVERY outside joint or crevice. Take care, from the UK. .

    That is some good detective work. It seems like the water has to go up to get into the seem and enter the trunk!

    @PrototypePower yes. This actually works. Do 2 layers. Once, then let it dry then do the second layer

    Hello, thanks for watching. I picked up a small tube of silicon seal at Lowe’s. I retrace all the seams in the trunk and sealed them up and that did the trick for me. Let me know if that works for you.

    to fix this the right way... replace the 3rd brake light gasket then that edge panel you mentioned is removable and behind it are 6 plastic push pins with circle gaskets that you can replace. you're welcome.

    I am having the same leak issue. I am going to try this out and see how it goes. I already replaced the two side channels and new plastic rubber fasteners and that is dry but I have that same corner on the trunk lid leaking water.

    I've been having water on my boot/trunk latch and its all mouldy on the mat. Thanks for video not sure my ford fiesta has that seal above the registration plate but mines definitely leaking on that plastic panel above the latch. Im going to get some black sealant on it as ive done my rear window seals before as it leaked there before and i fixed that issue.
