Trunk Leaks...I got it!

I found the reason we are getting water in our trunks. I took my rear tail lights out this weekend. I took the rubber gasket off and found a little crack from where the body has flexed over the years. I poured water on it and sure enough started to go down around the bottom of the trunk. I used some none silicone seam sealer and now I will wait till the next rain and see what happens. I have pictures that will follow on this post just as soon as I find a place to host them.

It's been raining for the past two days in most of Illinois so I am guessing that you know already if the sealer is working properly
